That Sonam Kapoor was once overweight is a fact well-known. She says when the stress of her weight began to reflect on her health, she became determined to shed the excess kilos.

Now counted as a style diva in the country's fashion circles, Sonam opened up about her weight problems to BIG RJ Karisma Kapoor during the latter's BIG On Style segment on 92.7 BIG FM's afternoon women's show BIG Memsaab.

It was when she was 16 that she decided to work towards a healthy lifestyle of regular workouts, yoga and figure-friendly food. Thus started her journey to become the fashion icon she is today.

Clearly, one wonders whether Sonam has come to truly believe in the motto - Health is wealth.
