Bollywood Celebs who handled body-shaming trolls amazingly, we are impressed!

“Our true nationality is mankind”. No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin or his background or his religion. People learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can also be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

With social media dominating the world, people get to express their own opinion. But at times, netizens come up with comments which are deemed contrary to the spirit of human values.

We have come across people shaming or trolling every second person for their posts on social media. Be it right or wrong reason, some people still find a reason to troll them. From body shaming to talking about their skin colour, it has been a never-ending story.

Several female Bollywood celebrities have been on the receiving end of body-shaming trolls. However, there are some celebrities who hit out at the body shamers by coming up with bold statements.

Sushmita Sen

Donald Trump termed former Miss Universe as Miss Piggy. When one of the fans had suggested that Barkha Dutt should think about interviewing Sushmita Sen about Donald Trump, Sushmita Sen quickly intervened and gave a sharp reply to Donald Trump’s body-shaming comment. She said “When INDIA won MU, Paramount Communications-owned the pageant not Trump. THANKGOD!! besides, you should know me better!”

Kangana Ranaut

Fans made distasteful remarks about her body, character and her condition after her breakup with Hrithik Roshan. She wrote: “I am not ashamed of anything, not my past, not my affairs, not my body and most definitely not my desire. So slut-shaming won’t work either. Kangana has also stated that she will never endorse fairness creams like some of her colleagues in the industry.”

Sonakshi Sinha

Sonakshi Sinha often gave fitting replies to body shamers. When asked about the problem of body shaming in the media, she replied, “It’s absolutely shameful. Today if anybody has been targeted for being a certain way, it’s me. But I don’t let it get to me. I know what is more important is that I project a healthy body image for girls who look up to me. Tomorrow if I become skinny, what’s the point? I won’t be able to work well.

I’ll fall sick all the time. I know that’s not my body structure, not my body type. I’ve worked very hard to look the way I look today. I used to weigh 95 kilos. What more do you want from me?”

Parineeti Chopra

Parineeti Chopra was often criticised for her weight. She took to Instagram and uploaded a plump photo of her with a long caption. “All my life, I have struggled with how I look, how I feel, and how people looked at me. I was constantly made fun of, but the person I was, I generously laughed with them.

Today, many people ask me what triggered the weight loss, did I give into the “Bollywood pressure”? To that I say – Thank God I became an actor and had that pressure! I can achieve what I couldn’t achieve otherwise. I feel confident, I feel at peace, and I feel proud! Girls and women meet me all around the world, at airports, events, on the street; they hold my hand, hug me, and tell me their struggles and how I changed their lives.”

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

After Aishwarya Rai gained some kilos due to her pregnancy, she was hit by body shaming remarks. She didn’t speak on it but her husband Abhishek Bachchan came out in support of his wife.

“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.”
