The entertainment world has unrealistic expectations of beauty, but these hotties refuse to live by them!
Here are 7 Bollywood celebs who fought body shaming and gained our respect.
Parineeti Chopra
Parineeti used to be known for her bubbly personality and curves when she first entered Bollywood, and the fact that she used to be a bit overweight before entering showbiz is no secret. The actress was targeted by bullies and was body shamed and her response to her haters was epic. Her new and improved avatar that was unveiled with a photoshoot shut the haters up for good. The actress even said that, “This (body shaming) will soon become a past. Everything comes in phases. If you yourself are not comfortable about your body, do something about it. If you are comfortable, let it be. Other people have no right to comment anyway.” We completely agree with you, Parineeti!
Zareen Khan
This hottie who made her debut opposite Salman Khan in Veer seems to be doing great for herself now, but that wasn’t the case in her teen years when she was busy dealing with bullies who body shamed her. The actress recently posted a collage picture of her from those old days with a long message that inspired us all! Here’s what she had to say, “Inspite of being so big I never let people’s comments or ideas about me bother me. Because it’s my life and my body and only I have the right to decide what I’m gonna do with it.” You go girl!
Sonakshi Sinha
This hottie who is known for giving it back to the haters was also body shamed in the past. The actress before entering the industry was overweight but she lost a whopping 30kg. Every now and then the actress gets trolled or insulted for her curvy figure but she never fails to amaze us with her fitting replies to them all! Keep inspiring us, Sona!
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Even one of the most beautiful woman in the world was body shamed when she gained a little bit of maternity weight. While the actress herself decided to ignore the haters, hubby Abhishek decided to speak up for his lovely wife. He said, “Yes, she’s a public figure, but people forget she’s also a woman and now a mother and there’s a line that’s not to be crossed. I don’t talk that way about any woman ever and it’s obviously not graceful for anyone to talk about her like that either.”
Sonam Kapoor
Sonam Kapoor too was body shamed for being overweight in the past. The actress lost a tremendous amount of weight to look like the diva she is today. She even took to Twitter to slam haters and Anushka Sharma supported her. Here’s what the actress had to say, “Fat shaming or skinny shaming.. It’s still body shaming!.”
Huma Qureshi
This badass actress who is known for her beautiful curves has been body shamed more often than not and instead of words she used a picture to shut up everyone for good. Here it is!
Richa Chadda
Recently Richa Chadda opened up about the pressures actresses deal with in Bollywood and some of her confessions have shocked us! She confessed to have had suffered from Bulimia, she said; “I was told I should gain weight, then lose weight, fix my nose and inflate my lips, get a b**b job, lose the puppy fat, grow my hair out, or cut it, get highlights, or fake eyelash extensions, squat for a bigger b**ty, get fake gel nails, run in heels, wear spanx, pout will talking, focus on dilating the pupils, and listen attentively.”
The actress even said that “eating disorders are the best-kept secret of Bollywood.” But the actress fought it all like the total badass that she is. We’re proud of you, Richa!
