It’s sad, but true that we are raised in a society which pre-loads our brains with ideas of how one thing is perfect and the rest doesn’t matter. In the context of being plus size, it can’t be more true. If you have been following us then you sure have read our stand on plus size and body shaming.
Talk about Bollywood and the image in anyone’s mind would be made up of colorful backdrops, muscular heroes and perfectly figured women. We are all used to these standards of beauty, even in real lives. All that it takes to break free from these standards and ideas of perfection is a voice. A voice, which cuts through the bullshit and talks the truth. A voice, which echoes with everyone. Recently, one such voice which came out in support of “The Plus Size” is that of Zarine Khan.
Zareen has time and again been attacked on social media for her body & being a plus size.
Yesterday, she spoke her heart out on Instagram and shared how she fought body shamers and reached where she is in life.
She says “I was criticized to no end for my weight but again I never let that get to me. How cud I? I continued on my fitness journey irrespective because fitness for me is a way of life now. Along with the weight loss came a lot of stretch marks but instead of feeling ashamed of it and trying to hide it, I believe in flaunting it. It makes me feel like a tigress with her stripes. I have come a long way in this journey of fitness and I still have a long way to go… But it’s always been only fr myself and not because of people shaming me”
What could we say more! Full power to you Zarine and for people who are still thinking, WTF is Plus Size? read here
