According to Vidyu, before her physical transformation, she had to face a lot of criticism and was mocked for her physical stature. Following this, the actress decided to shut everyone’s mouth. She made a humongous variation in her body weight. She weighed 77 kg in January and reduced up to 68 kg till the month of June.  With this move, she left the audience awe-struck. Which also has inspired her fans and many other people towards fitness.

• In mid of January 2020, Vidyu was diagnosed with a huge gall stone in her gall bladder and immediate surgery was scheduled to remove the infected gall bladder completely. However, her fitness progress was hindered, and it took her a while to get through it.

• She has also quoted how difficult it was for her to get along this fitness path. She wrote

I remember that day. It was a Tamil movie’s audio launch and I couldn’t find anything to wear because nothing in my wardrobe itf me. So I just put on some stretchy leggings and covered myself with a shrug to hide the shame. Depression and anger took over and I thought “screw this! Why should I get slimmer! I don’t need to and I won’t!”

• However, with this ongoing turmoil in her head, Vidyu, in February 2019, first decided to shed off her extra kilos and follow a constant fitness regimen. The process was difficult and required a lot of focus and dedication to achieve this. Her major physical transformation took place during the lockdown amid the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic during which she invested most of her time to focus on her fitness, and she started following a strict workout regimen. She wrote,
  

  20+ KGS DOWN – 86.5 kg to 65.3 kgs. It’s been a long & winding road. Filled with sweat and tears. When I look at the pic on the left it’s surreal that I ever looked like that. That I let myself get to being THAT unhealthy.”

• She started with naturopathy, Ayurveda, yoga and gradually, she shifted to keto and a low carb diet that helped her achieve this success.
  

  I was told that I won’t get the roles I get today if I dropped weight. It points to a culture where the casting happens based on appearance and not based on one’s talent. When you hear it, you tend to develop an insecure feeling. I don’t know what the remedy is but I hope women continue to prove that talent speaks more than body measurements.”
