New Delhi: The Metro… In Dino actress Fatima Sana Shaikh has opened up about her long-term struggles with epilepsy and an eating disorder, both of which began after her physical transformation for the film Dangal.

“I have had a love-hate relationship with myself, and I’ve been addicted to a certain image of myself. I’ve had a toxic relationship with food. I put on weight in Dangal because I had to. When I’m goal-oriented, I’d do everything. I was training for three hours, so I had to consume 2,500–3,000 calories every day to gain weight. When the movie got over, I wasn’t training as much, but I was still having 3,000 calories because I was used to it,” she said on actor Rhea Chakraborty’s podcast Chapter 2.

She spoke about the changes in her routine that made her “unfit” and “unhealthy.”
