Believe It Or Not, PC Was Once Body Shamed For Having A Disproportionate ‘Nose And Body’

Priyanka Chopra won the Miss World title in the year 2000.

And this fact makes the next bit a bit difficult to digest.

Some time after her pageant win, Priyanka wanted to pursue acting and she met several producers and directors to start off her acting career.

One of these producer-directors said that she was not good enough for the big screen. He also said that her nose is disproportionate and so is her whole body!

Speaking on the American talk show, The View, Priyanka further explained how she was shocked at the remark because she was never body-shamed before.

 

She also clarified that she has never had any cosmetic surgery anywhere and especially not on her nose

“Yes, this is my original nose. Please tell everyone that because people think I have a lot of things done. Please, just say that.”

She also talked about how Bollywood is very quick to body shame actresses who suddenly gains weight after a short period of time. It has happened to her also, but she says that it does not bother her anymore.

 

“There’s such a false perception of what women should look like and what our body should look like, especially when we are in the business.”

“You put on a couple of pounds and people are like body-shaming you. It happens. Christmas happens to all of us. I have Diwali, I have Holi, I have like a hundred holidays that happen to me. So my body fluctuates, and you know what? I’m fine with it.”

It is so weird to see people body shaming a person who wants to become an actor!

How does a disproportionate nose come in the way of your acting skills?

SRK is an apt example of how one can become a star even with a disproportionate nose!
