“Caress the crevices of your body, handle them with love,” is what Bengali actress Swastika Mukherjee’s feel-good mantra for accepting body positivity as she looks into the mirror and show offs her naked back.

The 40-year-old actress shared unfiltered pictures of herself on body positivity, where she is showing off her curves.

The actress wearing a saree wrote: “Love thy handles,” adding that: “We live in a country where people in the glamour industry set unrealistic beauty standards and society is expected to follow them. Standards that make no sense to me. ‘Every Body is beautiful’ must find a definition beyond captions. It needs to be imbibed in our beliefs.”

“The last picture in this post is the one we want to see from a fashion photoshoot. We have gotten used to filters and polished images where we don’t look like ourselves anymore,” she added.

“But I am old school. I love my body the way it is. I cannot complete this without mentioning Upahar Biswas, the photographer on this project who happily agreed to give the pictures without scrubbing them to perfection. Caress the crevices of your body, handle them with love. If I can, you can too, ” she wrote.

Mukherjee is a renowned actress in the Bengali film industry and made her acting debut with the 2001 Bengali film Hemanter Pakhi.

She also featured in Mastan, Anubrata Bhalo Achho, Aami Ashbo Phirey, Byomkesh O Agnibaan, Saheb Bibi Golaam, Kia And Cosmos, Bhooter Bhabishyat, Hello Kolkata and The Stoneman Murders.
