Check out: Zareen Khan says ‘no’ to body-shaming by sharing teenage pictures

en Bollywood News Check out: Zareen Khan says ‘no’ to body-shaming by sharing teenage pictures



Amidst several celebrities being trolled on social media for their body, some of them like Sonakshi Sinha and Huma Qureshi have often given it back to their trollers, raising their voice against body shaming. The celebrity who has now joined the list is Zareen Khan.


Zareen Khan, who was once termed as Katrina Kaif's lookalike, made her debut in Bollywood with Veer. But the actress was subjected to several criticisms regarding her weight. Taking them in her stride, she revealed yet another sensuous side of her in Hate Story 3. Now, Zareen took to social media to post a picture of her during her teenage years with a long post motivating people to love their body and to raise their voice against body shaming. She also stated that changing her body and her life was completely her own decision and she never succumbed to the societal ideas of 'women's looks'. Her post read, "Came across these pics of mine from school and college days. (White one was in std 9th & pink one was right after my std 12th exams).


Whn I look at these pics I feel proud of myself today not tht I felt any lesser abt myself back then. Inspite of being so big I never let ppl's comments or ideas abt me bother me. Bcoz it's my life and my body and only I hav the right to decide wht I'm gonna do with it. Then one day I decided let me try how it feels to b a little lighter and hence started my weight loss journey. It wasn't easy at all bt everytime I looked at the Progress in the mirror I got the push to do more. I had lots more energy than before and I was loving every bit of this new person I was transforming into.


Whn I became a part of this industry, I had lost all my weight ... Infact I was asked to put on weight Fr my first film to look the character. Unfortunately I was criticised to no end Fr my weight bt again I never let tht get to me. How cud I ? Those ppl had not seen me like the way I am in these pics here. And Fr me everything was jus an achievement to reach frm where I was to where I am.


I continued on my fitness journey irrespective Bcoz fitness Fr me is a way of life now. Along with the weight loss came a lot of stretch marks bt 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 hav a long way to go... Bt it's always been only Fr myself and not Bcoz of ppl shaming me ! #MondayMotivation #SayNoToBodyShaming #LoveYourself."
