Radhikka Madan says body-shaming pushed her to focus on health
Actor Radhikka Madan says she was body-shamed after gaining weight for the film Pataakha.
While losing weight for later films, she was told she was too fat to become a heroine.
She kept losing weight and says she became so thin that it affected her health, so she took a break.
Madan says criticism continued even after her weight changed, leading her to question why she was trying to please others.
She now focuses on feeling healthy rather than reaching a particular body size.
She also says girls can face pressure from childhood to match a narrow idea of how women should look.
Madan says accepting yourself is a long and confusing process, but believes people should find their own ground.
Radhikka Madan says body-shaming over her weight led her to focus on health rather than a particular body size.
She says she gained 15 kilograms for Pataakha and was called “too fat” while losing weight for later films.
Madan says continued weight loss left her “like bones” and began affecting her health, prompting her to take a break.
She says she now tries to accept herself and not let other people’s opinions determine how she feels.
