The actress, who has a slightly pear-shaped body type, revealed how people used to pass rude comments on her when she was initially skinny, and later it all changed to being slightly plumped. In her words:
“This keeps happening to me. Body shaming is constant in my life because I have a certain body type. Even if I’m at my slimmest best, my lower half will look big, and then people will think ‘Oh, she’s fat from here’. So I face this in every phase.”

She said:
“There was a time when I was very thin, and then people said, ‘You don’t look good now, you have become very thin. Only chubby cheeks used to suit you’. Now that I’m like this so they say, ‘Ohh, your weight is not reducing. I’m like relax guys, I’m into fitness now. I work out daily. I do it for my happiness. It gives me an adrenalin rush. It keeps my body agile. I have stopped getting on the weighing scale. I block people who body shame me. I don’t think twice about it.”

He mentioned:
“When I got into a relationship with Divyanka, I knew that she is a star, it was not like she became a star later on and I also knew that I’m a newbie and I came to the industry very late. When we were going to get married, and I proposed to her, the same night we had a meeting with her family and we discussed these possibilities. We discussed that it can happen that I will be compared or referred to as her husband and how will I deal with it. The meeting was more like my interview and the parents were asking me questions.”
