Badass! Sonam Slams Body Shamers, Supports Anushka

Let’s face it. Bollywood is not an easy place to survive, and looks & appearances in this industry matter a lot. Especially, an actress needs to have a certain body type, should dress in glamorous attires and what not. The list is endless. And importantly,  there’s some weird fascination with heroines being ‘thin & slim.’ However, our modern age divas are changing these norms, like actress Bhumi Pendekar, who piled on kgs for her role in Dum Laga Ke…  But when recently she shed the oodles of piled on kgs, many people tongues still couldn’t stop wagging! Unfortunately, looks always become a major parameter for an actress, even more than her performances!

So, something happened with our fashionista Sonam Kapoor who took to Twitter yesterday and posted a furious message about body shaming: “Fat shaming or skinny shaming.. It’s still body shaming!”  Actress Anushka Sharma retweeted Sonam’s comment and posted, “Word”. When Ms Kapoor came across this, she didn’t shy away in praising Ms Sharma! Sonam tweeted to Anushka: “@AnushkaSharma people are just J of you! Coz you’re a self respecting intelligent successful beautiful woman!!!”

Anushka and Sonam may have had their share of criticism in the past owing to their looks, but this twitter exchange was a spot on answer to all the body-shamers.

Badass!
