We live in a world air-brushed perfections and beauty standards whose definition has been moulded and re-moulded by companies that feed off the insecurities of women. Women who were fat-shamed and body-shamed because they didn’ fit these ‘ideal’ moulds.
But do you know the right way to go about it? To hit back harder with confidence. Take it from someone who has grown up hearing, “You’d look great if you lose a little weight.” Yes, dear ladies. It’s time to reclaim our esteem and be comfortable in our own skin. Fortunately, we have a lot of examples for inspiration.
For instance, remember when Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra chose fitness over everything and lost a ton of weight only to gain the respect a lot of aspiring women?
Well, the ‘Golmaal Again’ actress has done it again with a new picture where she can be seen flaunting her stretch marks!
Of course, there were naysayers who tried to shame her…
1. So?
2. Real classy, coming from a girl herself.
3. Wait. WHAT?
But the Internet clapped back and how. People even applauded Parineeti and her body-positive message!
1. WORD.
2. I’d have said the same.
3. True that!
4. Very well deserved…
5. And with a million dollar smile!
6. Without doubt.
7. An inspiration…
8. Take a bow, queen!
9. Preach.
10.We all do, love…
And like I said, it’s time we learn to embrace them and hold our head high. Thank you for the inspiration, Parineeti. Point noted!
