Stop body-shaming!

Do not judge

Ramman Handa 

Body shaming is a mental illness. Your body is just a structure and what should matter more is the kind of human you are. Keeping your body in shape is important and good but criticizing others because on their physical appearance is inhuman. Actors keep themselves fit because it is a basic necessity of their career and it’s a healthy way of living. But we are no one to criticise or judge anyone on their physical appearance. 

Stay true to yourself

I can totally relate to this topic because I have also been a target of body shaming in the past. I was very thin and then I put on weight because of hyperthyroidism and people were after me. We live in a very shallow world where people are vain and they pass comments on the appearance of other people. All I can say is always be confident and don’t let anybody break your confidence. You are here to live life on your own terms!

Haters will hate

Body shaming is increasing day by day and I am totally against it. I feel haters put a comment on pictures to grab the attention of the celebrities. In India, people talk about dignity and how women should dress up and how they should behave in society. These are the people who encourage rape. I don’t understand that if you don’t like a picture or if you don’t like the person who is posting the picture, then simply just ignore it or even block it. 

Let people be!

Just because everyone has the right to their opinion, this does not mean that we can intrude in someone’s life. It’s absolutely fine by me if anyone wants to post anything as it’s their life and everyone goes through a phase of life where their choices vary. People who judge should realize that they have also changed over the years. 

Morally and socially responsible

Everyone has the right to put forward their opinions and that cannot be helped. But I just think that along with this right, we as people have to be morally and socially responsible. Everyone should know their limits and boundaries. Body shaming a person is not ethically right. Celebrities are public figures and you have every right to give an opinion about them. But you do not have the right to insult them. 

Be empathetic

While commenting on someone, we have to see that we don’t cross the line and that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. At the time I started putting up revealing pictures it was not so common and nowadays, it’s very common. I don’t find anything wrong in it and I guess people should not bother too.

Don’t care what they think

Jayashree Venketeramanan 

Body shaming is an exercise which prevails in every industry, I have heard some of my closest friends talking about others commenting on how other people look. I won’t say that it is only for actors and actresses, but yes, because we are constantly in the limelight, we get more reactions. We must not forget that we all are individuals and have the right to be the way we want to be. No matter what character I play on television, this will never stop me from posting pictures on social media.
