Actress Keerthy Suresh, who works extensively in South cinema, has spoken about her rapid weight loss journey in 2018–19. In an interview, Keerthy revealed that she lost weight by doing only cardio. However, after learning the benefits of strength training, she began focusing on a more balanced fitness routine.

Keerthy Suresh on how she lost weight


Speaking to Galatta.com about her fitness journey in 2018, Keerthy said, “I was very chubby. I was a little built… wouldn’t say fat. I am not a very fat person. I did a lot of cardio. When you engage in a lot of cardio, you can lose muscle. So, without strength training, I just did cardio. I lost weight quickly.”



Keerthy revealed that she lost nearly 9 kilos in a period of 8–9 months. “That’s when my face looked sculpted. I agree, I was looking very thin at that time because when I saw pictures from 2019, my face looked so emaciated. It was because I was not working out in my life. I was just sleeping, eating, working, coming back home, and sleeping again, and then repeating. I didn’t do any workout. Is that good for health? No! In 2018, I got a break after my film Mahanati, which is when I realised I needed to work out.”

Keerthy Suresh's work front

The National Award-winning actress was last seen in the Prime Video original movie Uppu Kappurambu, a Telugu satirical film. Keerthy plays a reluctant village chief navigating an unusual crisis- a bizarre shortage of burial space. A clever social satire, wrapped in humour and rooted storytelling, the film has been praised for its unique premise, eccentric tone, and heartfelt performances from a seasoned cast. Uppu Kappurambu is set in a fictional South Indian village where the dead are outnumbered by bureaucracy, and burial plots are in short supply.

Keerthy Suresh was also seen in the Bollywood film Baby John last year. Her next Hindi film will be produced by Rajkummar Rao and Patralekhaa, and will also star Rajkummar Rao. Sources say the story examines today’s education system and its profit-driven approach.

Keerthy Suresh also has another film, Revolver Rita, in the pipeline.
