In a recent interview, Bollywood star Kriti Sanon discussed her experiences with fat shaming and criticism regarding her appearance.
Kriti Sanon discussed how she dealt with negative criticisms about her looks, such as her nose, gummy grin, and lips, and how she handled it with grace.
“There were occasions when I was instructed to line my lips to (make them) seem larger,” Kriti explained. It made no sense to me. “I tried it once (she chuckles).”
“I was also informed that when I grin, my nostrils flare up a little bit,” she continued. So, absolutely, there will be criticism from all sides. When I grin or laugh, people occasionally reciprocate, but that’s typical no. “I am not a stuffed animal.”
“People said to me, ‘You have a gummy grin.’ That I was born with, I have no control over. These are little details that individuals do not express openly, such as ‘yeh alter karo (change this).’ “I feel like one of those things that everyone hears,” she said.
“Someone told me it’s not the pressure anymore, but I think the pressure is rising with all these Instagram filters and everything arriving, everyone wants to be flawless all the time,” she wrote. So, I went through it and heard stuff. Someone suggested that I draw my waist in a bit more. Random folks will also say things from time to time. You must ensure that you are not listening to everyone.”
