EXCLUSIVE: **WARNING CONTAINS NUDITY**Just when Egyptian woman Eman Ahmed’s drastic weight loss — from a whopping 500kg to 176kg merely in three months — and controversies around the story was making international headlines, there was another woman, pegged as of India’s heaviest, who quietly underwent a second round of barbaric surgery to lose further weight at a private hospital in Mumbai. Amita Rajani, the 44-year-old resident of Vasai, weighed around 300kg and was bed-ridden for around nine years. She lost 165kg in two years. After second operation, she has lost 10kg in one month.

Whenever I want I take out my car, go for a long drive or go meet my relatives and friends and wedding and birthday parties,” said Amita, who works as a share trader, adding that her friends have organized a reunion to celebrate her transformation.
