Explaining the situation, Isime revealed that she gained weight for a movie role in 2022, expecting to lose it within two weeks. However, it took her over a year to achieve her desired weight.

Taking to her Instagram account, Isime wrote, “Adding weight for a role in 2022 and losing it afterward was more challenging than expected. It took me much longer and required more effort than I thought.”

She expressed her initial confidence in losing weight in two weeks before filming her next project, but her metabolism didn’t cooperate. Consequently, she carried the weight for over a year, spanning several projects.

Isime expressed her relief at reaching her healthiest weight and even surpassing her goal by at least 3 extra kilograms. Humorously, she added, “I would have shared tips, but I like the narrative of my ‘yansh’ bursting, adding a little excitement to my otherwise dull online persona.”
