Avika Gor, who became popular from house to house by playing the character of Anandi in the TV serial 'Balika Vadhu' at a young age, is celebrating her 24th birthday today. She started her acting career in 2008 with the television serial 'Balika Vadhu', for which she gained immense popularity.
After this, she appeared in 'Sasural Simar Ka', 'Lado: Veerpur Ki Mardaani' and non-fiction shows like 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' (Season 5)', 'Box Cricket League (Season 2)', 'Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 9'. In 2013, Avika also turned to films. She has appeared in Telugu and Kannada films.
Avika Gor had to face a lot of problems due to her increased weight. To emerge from this struggle, the actress transformed herself by losing weight last year. Last year, she shared her weight loss journey on social media. She had told that she had lost 13 kilos, for which she had to put pressure on her heels. Sharing this journey, the actress told that she was very unhappy with her body and started hating herself after which she decided to lose weight.
Sharing her weight loss journey with a glamorous picture from her Instagram account, Avika wrote, 'I still remember the night when I saw myself in the mirror and I started crying. I didn't like what I saw at all. Large arms, legs, and an enlarged belly. I let go of a lot. If it was due to some disease then it would not matter to me because then it would have been out of my control. But all this was because I used to eat everything and did not work out at all. Our body deserves to be treated well but I didn't respect it at all.
The actress further said, 'I did not like the way I looked. I love to dance very much but I couldn't even do that thinking about how I would look. I was so busy judging myself and feeling bad about myself that I never gave up hope for outsiders to think badly of me. These kinds of security were always on my mind and it made me feel very irritating.
On starting her weight loss journey, Avika says, "One day I decided that enough is enough and now I have to change. Nothing changes overnight. I just started focusing on the right things. Things I'm proud of, like dancing. I always thought of eating well and working out. During this, I also faced many problems, but it was necessary that I did not stop. My people were always with me to guide me.
On losing weight, the actress had said, 'Today when I saw myself in the mirror, I did not feel bad. I smiled looking at myself and told myself that I am beautiful. We have a lot to do and we should do those things carefully and not feel bad thinking that we cannot do it. We must do what is in our control. Now I am comfortable in my skin. This has given me peace.
