Boney Kapoor’s fitness post gets ‘my best papa’ love from Janhvi after 26 kg weight drop

Producer Boney Kapoor recently surprised many with his noticeable physical transformation, after shedding 26 kg. On Monday, the 69-year-old shared a series of photos on Instagram, reflecting on his fitness journey and how it has changed his daily life — including finally being able to fit into some of his older clothes.

In his caption, he wrote, “Feels great to get into some old clothes. Lost 26kgs, just a few more to go. Sharing this for those who need motivation. Do it. It’s worth it! If I can, anybody can!” The post immediately caught attention, with his daughters Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor showing their support. Janhvi commented, “My best papa,” while Khushi wrote, “Wowwww.”

Other responses came from friends and fans. Orry called him a “Legend,” and Arjun Kapoor simply liked the post. One social media user wrote, “Looking handsome young dude,” while another added, “Such a great inspiration … well done for such a big accomplishment.”

Last year, Boney had briefly spoken about his desire to make lifestyle changes. He revealed that his late wife, actress Sridevi, used to tell him, “Boney, first lose weight then you can fix your hair.” He admitted that while some people around him told him baldness was lucky — citing filmmakers like Yash Chopra — her advice stayed with him.

Eventually, he decided to undergo a hair transplant procedure. “Finally, one day, I was convinced to get a hair transplant. In three days, they planted almost 6,000 hair,” he shared.

But before doing so, he was determined to follow what Sridevi had once suggested. “I remembered my wife’s advice who wanted me to lose weight before the hair transplant, so I went on a diet and lost about 14 kgs,” he recalled. Though he finds exercise challenging, Boney still managed to stick to a plan and shed extra kilos. He now hopes his story encourages others to prioritise their health, even if the journey is slow or difficult.
