Sameera Reddy on Body Shaming in Bollywood

Sameera Reddy, a Bollywood actress, recently talked about facing body shaming when she started her career.

She was told to wear padded bras and bum pads to change her appearance.

A psychotherapist, Delnna Rrajesh, explained that body shaming is not just about looks but also about power and acceptance.

It can hurt people's confidence and self-esteem.

Body shaming happens not just in the film industry but also in other workplaces and schools.

Delnna suggested ways to have a healthier relationship with our bodies, like not comparing ourselves to others and seeking support if needed.

Sameera speaking out helps others feel less alone and shifts the focus to emotional well-being.
