Elaborating how she was 80 kg back then, and one sudden day she thought of following a strict diet and working out routine, she mentioned:
"This is the first time I am sharing my weight-loss story. When lockdown had started, I would eat so much ghar pe. Mom would cook momos, butter chicken, cakes and things like that. One day I was sitting in front of my laptop, watching shows. And suddenly, the screen locked and I saw my face on the laptop. And I look very chubby. I was 80kgs or something at that time."

In the same conversation, Saloni had also shared how she had to face huge trolling for being fat. She mentioned that people used to call her fat and pull her legs due to the same. However, ignoring all of them, she kept enjoying her life. Finally, as now, she has already achieved a milestone, she has the correct answer for her trollers. She had concluded:
"I would get comments like ‘Bhains lag rahi hai’, ‘kitni moti hai’, ‘kitna khayegi, ekdin foot jayegi’ and things like that. But mujhe bahut maza aate hai yeh sab padh k. I read them with my friends and kept laughing. People who write such comments are afraid enough not to show their faces but they can write such things for so many people. Sometimes I do feel low, but I move on quickly. I work towards better things in life and do not think about such people. Now I have lost 22kgs, during the lockdown."
