Mumbai, Sept. 9 -- Newly married Drashti Dhami has enjoyed an 11-month break from work. The TV star got married in February, and resumed work only in July this year.
But ever since her return to the tube, she has drawn a lot of attention for gaining weight. Drashti says, "My fans have been commenting that I have put on some weight."
The actor is taking these remarks to heart, and has already started thinking of ways to shed the kilos. "I have a hectic schedule, but I plan to go on a diet and exercise. I will try to get as fit as I can," she adds.
She plans to eat at regular intervals despite her 12-hour schedules and workout, either before or after the shoot, to keep get back in shape.
Drashti has never had problems with her weight earlier. "My peers ask me why I want to lose weight. But it's showing a bit on my face. Maybe my look on the show, Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani, is adding to the round structure of my face. Also, close-ups are the norm on TV, so even a hint of extra weight gets highlighted," she says.
