Shriyam Bhagnani recently spoke about her physical transformation for the film Sumo Didi, where she gained 15 kilos for the role. She said it was a big challenge but necessary for the character. Shriyam also praised her co-actor, Chaitnya Sharma, for being a great support throughout her journey.

Shriyam Bhagnani On Sumo Didi Transformation 

Shriyam shared that Chaitnya was like a guiding light during her tough times and helped her stay motivated. His constant encouragement made the difficult process easier. Shriyam said she is proud of the hard work and is excited for audiences to see the result of their efforts in Sumo Didi.

In an exclusive conversation with Bollywood Bubble, she revealed, “I trained for nine months for this part. From an interview, I came to know that the producers were also considering 2-3 other people to lock them for the part. We were all put under training for a couple of months before they finalised me, but I have no idea who these two people were. In the training part, more than any physical transformation, any mental transformation, I think, what really helped me with the transformation was having my co-actor with me.”

She added, “Chaitnya Sharma (Slow Cheeta). He is my co-actor, and everything we were doing together. He was my guiding light at that time because I was going through so much and I was doing so much. I had lost objectivity because I was just training all the time. So, I think having Chaitnya on my side helped me a lot, and I gained a little bit more than 15 kilos.”
