 Actress Wamiqa Gabbi has undergone a massive transformation, as she lost a huge amount of weight after 'Jubilee', where she plays the role of an actress in her 50s. To look the part, the actress put on over 10 kilos of weight.

Post 'Jubilee' she embarked on a weight-loss journey for her role in the upcoming mystery-crime series 'Charlie Chopra and the Mystery of the Solang Valley', which required her to once again undergo a weight transformation, this time she had to sport a leaner frame.

Regarding her weight loss journey Gabbi said: "Going on a weight-loss journey was of course a conscious decision and the focus was on being fit. For Jubilee, I had to put on some amount to look the part since the series is set in the 1940s and 1950s and people then had a certain body type."

She further added: "My only concern was I didn't want to starve, but I have an excellent and talented fitness team who made sure I didn't but had some good food. It feels good to fit into my old clothes."

Wamiqa plays the role of Niloufer Qureshi, a yesteryear's actress. The series stars Prosenjit Chatterjee, Aparshakti Khurana, Aditi Rao Hydari, Ram Kapoor in pivotal roles.

The series is created by Vikramaditya Motwane and Soumik Sen, the former of whom also directed the series. The show launched on April 7 and streams on Prime Video.
