It’s 2019 and the world is slowly but surely understanding the importance of body positivity. The focus has shifted from being ‘size zero’ to being fit and healthy (no matter what size you are). And to be honest, it has taken a lot of doing, especially by celebrities who we look up to. In the past, actresses like Malaika Arora, Vidya Balan and Neha Dhupia have spoken up against fat-shamers and society’s unrealistic standards of beauty.
Another actress who has been the recipient of cruel comments about her weight gain is Nargis Fakhri. In January, a website even went so far as to publish a fake pregnancy story about her.
Recently, the Rockstar actress took to Instagram to talk about how she went from 129 lbs to 178 lbs over the last 2 years. And how this change was perceived by the outside world.

More than it being a number-driven weight-loss journey, she believes it is a journey of becoming the best version of herself.
In her post, she has used two comparison photos much like a before and after. And for anyone out there on a similar journey, she advocates lifestyle changes saying,
“Nurture your mind, body and soul with positive thoughts and healthy choices.”
Her body-positive message has won everyone’s hearts online!
Getting back on the fitness track can be exhausting and requires dedication and consistency. So why not embark on it with someone else for motivation, guidance and company? And what better companion can there be than Nargis Fakhri? Let’s be the best versions of ourselves and put a stop to body-shaming once and for all!
