Shilpa Shetty's Motivational Instagram Post is Worth Your Time

New Delhi: For all those who think drastic weight loss is impossible, take a cue from actress Shilpa Shetty. In an Instagram post on Saturday, the 40-year-old actress shared a throwback picture in which she was overweight by 32 kgs. Along with it, Shilpa also shared a current photograph of hers to make it more explicit.

Although Shilpa states that the old picture is a 'not so complimentary' one, the reason behind sharing it is motivational - if she can do it, so can you.

This picture explains Shilpa's transformation from size 16 to size 8. It's inspiring:
