Mandy Takhar has reportedly taken a lot of efforts to ensure that 'Bumboo', her debut movie as a lead actress, becomes a success at the box office.

In order to look good and add glamour to the movie, the actress has shed all her extra weight.

Mandy is a true Punjabi girl in every way and more so with regards to her eating habits.

She weighed around 65 kgs and had a waist size of 34 inches, and is a complete fast food freak.

However at the audition of Bumboo when asked if she was willing to wear a bikini in the film, she accepted and took the offer as a challenge where she had to prove herself.

After consulting a nutritionist and following a strict vegetarian diet, she enrolled herself for kick boxing classes and dutifully managed to knock off 15 Kilos in just a month-and-a-half so that she could look stunning in a bikini.

It paid off as she stands out for being the only lady in an all male star cast.
