Richa Chaddha

body shaming - richa

One of those that tops my list is Richa Chadha who has been bold enough to talk against the industry she is a part of. Richa Chaddha who gained popularity with movies like  Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!, Fukrey, Gangs Of Wasseypur and Masaan, shared her journey with an eating disorder, bulimia.

“Anyone know what that is? It’s when you consistently hate what you look like, and compulsively induce vomiting, throw up all the food you eat, accompanied often by binge eating, general anxiety and sadness and believing basically that you are unworthy. What are the implications of it? You become drastically unhealthy, low on nutrition, with lack of sleep and basically overtime have little zest for anything at all. I hated myself, gained weight in a strange way and felt like a failure.”

Said Chaddha.

Sonakshi has been a chubby kid since her childhood and have even been asked to lose weight for many of roles to which she blatantly denied, no one has the right to make her feel terrible about herself and she would never allow that as well.

She said in her interview with Filmfare,

“Today if anybody has been targeted for being a certain way, it’s me. But I don’t let it get to me. I know what is more important is that I project a healthy body image for girls who look up to me. Tomorrow if I become skinny, what’s the point? I won’t be able to work well. I’ll fall sick all the time. I know that’s not my body structure,
not my body type. I’ve worked very hard to look the way I look today”.

Her opinion on meat ban did not come off well which made some people body shame her,
