Bollywood Actresses, Who Got Body-Shamed And Clapped Back At The Trollers

Body shaming is a sin, but sadly, some people find it amusing to troll others for their body measurement. Be it for right or wrong reasons, some people never stop judging women bodies, and women for their bodies and pointing out their flaws. Women are expected to have a perfectly toned body, even after they give birth to a baby and go through tremendous changes. Anyhow, they receive extremely rude comments and criticism from anonymous people online and people in the real world. Most of all, the actresses are always under scrutiny for their looks and thus, become frequent victims.

However, the divas prove that they are confident in their bodies and flaunt their imperfections. Here is a list of Bollywood actresses who got body-shamed from "Too Fat" to "Too Thin", and everything in between.

Responding to the comments of one of her followers on Instagram, Ileana had said, "I don't have an 'awkward' body. Nobody does. I have been criticised for my body type, but I am trying to learn to love myself for who I am and not try to conform to someone else's ideals."

#10. Sonam Kapoor Ahuja

Sonam kapoor body shaming incident

The Saawariya actress, Sonam Kapoor Ahuja, is a confident and successful woman. Though the actress is no stranger to trolls, at times, she deals with fluctuating self-esteem. From her body measurements to her outfit choices, Sonam has been trolled multiple times. In an essay, Sonam had revealed that she had begun hating the way she had looked without even reading tabloids articles pointing her flaws out.

Addressing her weight issues and incessant trolling, Sonam had opened up in an interview with Buzzfeed. The Veere Di Wedding actress had said, "I constantly worried that, if asked to dance in a backless choli, rolls of back fat would give me away as an imposter to the industry. Nobody lines up to buy tickets to see cellulite. The ball is in the media's court to celebrate fit bodies rather than thin ones, and to know the difference. I know now that there's nothing wrong with stretch marks, cellulite, or scars. They're markers of our growth. There's beauty in their realness."

Imagining a world with every single person having the same look, is boring. Thankfully, we all come in different shapes and sizes, and thus, we should celebrate our body and love it.
