Rishabh Sawhney Exclusive: Weight Loss Transformation, Modeling Career & Bollywood Dreams | Chai With Ilachi

My Conversation With Rishabh Sawhney on Chai With Ilachi

When I created Chai With Ilachi, my goal was clear—to build a podcast that shares real stories of struggle, discipline and transformation. One of my most powerful conversations has been with Rishabh Sawhney, a name that is quickly becoming recognized in the world of Indian modeling, Bollywood cinema and fitness motivation.

Rishabh’s story is more than just about walking the runway or acting on screen—it’s about a complete reinvention of self. From battling teenage obesity to losing over 60 kilograms, from competing on fitness stages to becoming a top model in India, and now pursuing acting roles in Bollywood and regional cinema, his journey is nothing short of extraordinary.

Rishabh Sawhney’s Weight Loss & Fitness Transformation

From Obesity to Discipline

Growing up, Rishabh struggled with obesity, a challenge that limited his confidence. Unlike the confident figure we see today in fashion campaigns and films, his early years were marked by battles with weight and self-image.

Turning Point at Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT)

It was during his college days at Vellore Institute of Technology (VIT) that he decided to transform his life. With discipline, rigorous training and clean nutrition, he committed to a fitness-first lifestyle.

Losing 60+ Kilos: Proof of Determination

Through persistence, Rishabh lost more than 60 kilograms. His story is now a leading example of fitness transformation in India—showing young people that with the right mindset, any goal is achievable.

From Gym to Fashion Runways

His transformation led him to the world of physique competitions, and from there, opportunities opened in modeling, fashion weeks and advertising campaigns. His striking presence eventually brought him to the doors of Bollywood and regional cinema.
