How did a 22 year old turn unimaginable grief into fierce determination and what made his promise to his late mother so powerful that it pushed him from 160 kilos to 75 kilos through discipline, emotion and an unwavering sense of purpose?
Social media users praised his emotional journey and dramatic physical change.
New Delhi: A powerful story of loss, dedication and transformation has captured social media with 22 year old Sobhik Sahu’s stunning weight loss journey. Once weighing 160 kilos and battling multiple health conditions he has now shed 85 kilos through a combination of rigorous workouts and a clean high protein diet. His journey did not begin with a desire for a better physique but with a moment of heartbreak that changed everything.
Sobhik revealed his story in an emotional video in which he spoke about living for years with not only an unhealthy body but a heavy heart. He had long struggled with high blood pressure, type 1 diabetes, asthma, arthritis and fissures. These conditions only worsened due to unhealthy eating habits and a lifestyle he admitted was spiralling out of control.
A Painful Turning Point
The defining moment came when he lost his mother. At the time of her funeral, he faced an unexpected and deeply painful hurdle. Because of his size, the protective suit needed to perform her final rituals did not fit him. The suit felt too tight and too restrictive for him to carry out the duties that mattered most.
Determined not to let that moment define him, he wore two protective suits just to fulfil his last responsibility toward her. That experience, he said, broke him and rebuilt him at the same time. It became the moment he vowed to change his life completely. He promised himself that he would no longer allow his body to control him or prevent him from honouring the people he loved.

A Journey of Consistency and Pain
From that day he began what he called a long road of sweat and struggle. It was never easy and the process demanded patience and consistency. He worked out daily, adopted a high protein plan and let go of old habits that once trapped him. Over time the numbers on the scale dropped and with them came a sense of emotional renewal.
He said the transformation is not an end point. Instead, he sees it as a tribute to his mother who always believed in him and wanted him to live a healthy life. He described the change as a rebirth rather than a simple weight loss achievement.
Promise Fulfilled
In his message online he wrote that the transformation is a promise kept. He said his mother had always wanted to see him fit and today he has honoured that wish by dropping from 160 kilos to 75 kilos. He shared that he now lives without the constant fear of fluctuating blood pressure and without the need for the large number of medicines he once relied on.

What remained was a single regret. He wished his mother had lived long enough to witness how far he had come and how much he had rebuilt himself from the ground up.
Praise and Support From Social Media
His story quickly moved thousands of people online. Many expressed admiration for his strength and resilience. Comments described him as an inspiration and assured him that his mother would be proud of the man he has become. Others praised his honesty and vulnerability and said his journey motivated them to work on their own health.
A New Beginning
Sobhik hopes that his story reminds others that it is never too late to change. He considers this dramatic shift the beginning of a new life and says his only goal now is to make his parents proud in every possible way.
