Shamita Shetty reveals she thought about hitting menopause once

In a conversation with Etimes, Shamita Shetty opened up about her rigorous fitness regime and how she takes the best care of her health. Despite all of this, a certain weight gain and other perimenopause symptoms, including hot flushes and others, were felt by Shamita. Thus, she thought about hitting the menopause soon and underwent a few tests. Shamita said:

“I’ve always taken care of my workout and diet. So being fit is a big part of who I am. But I kept putting on weight for a year and half and couldn’t understand why. I was constantly trying to look for ways to conceal my weight. I kept getting hot flushes and ended up thinking I was hitting menopause. But my doctor made me undergo a few tests, which showed that it wasn’t that. I chanced upon a video about perimenopause on social media and read some articles on it. When I spoke to my female friends, some of them had the same symptoms and others had more severe ones.”
