“You are beautiful the way you are, so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.” In today’s digital age, where flawless pictures on social media set unrealistic beauty standards, it’s important that we love and accept our ‘not-so-perfect’ bodies. After all, the pimples or the extra kilos or the dark circles, don’t really define us but instead are proof of our life experiences.
Recently, actor and TV host Mini Mathur shared some celebrity ‘then and now’ pics with an important life lesson. The photographs are the work of Dutch graphic artist Ard Gelinck who edited pictures of noted personalities to make it appear as if they are standing next to their younger selves. The result? Well, the images beautifully show how much we beautifully age in life and no one can ever look the same.
