Achieving fitness goals while managing a full-time job might seem overwhelming, but 34-year-old IT specialist Prasanna Kadlakh has shown that with unwavering commitment and consistent effort, it can become reality. In a detailed conversation with Times Now, Prasanna opened up about how he took charge of his health and underwent a dramatic transformation, shedding 30 kilograms over the course of a year.
