Earlier, in an interview with Bollywood Bubble, she said, “I remember those days like it was yesterday. It\u2019s weird because it\u2019s a very deeply ingrained scar. I went through body-shaming right from the time I was 12. I had just hit puberty and growing up. You are hit with these weird comments. And people are passing comments about your body and saying, \u2018Oh My God, why is your butt so big?\u2019 And I am like, \u2018What do you mean?\u2019 You think you are fine and then suddenly you have random people saying things about you and you start to believe what they are saying. So I think it\u2019s a deeply ingrained scar because you are carrying it for so many years. It takes a lot of inner strength to tell yourself that what they are saying doesn\u2019t matter. What your feel about yourself is most important. And it\u2019s something I tell myself every single day,\u201d (Image: Instagram)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
