TIL Desk Bollywood/ Actress and former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen, considered as one of the fittest celebrities in Hindi film industry, said that body-shaming is not a cool concept.
Asked whether she had ever gone through weight gain issues, she told the media at an event here: “I had this thing… because I was one of those brilliant people who put on weight and then go on national television. Did a show with Wasim Akram (Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena in 2008). I was superbly overweight and it became national news where news channels were discussing my weight…”
“…I think body-shaming is not a cool concept. I have never liked it.”On how people judge a person going through weight gain issues, Sushmita said: “It is important to recognise that you are going to have the ups and downs in your life and you are never going to be consistently perfect. There are people in this world who have genetic issues and people with health conditions. So, to judge people is easy but to let them enjoy the moment is difficult.”
