00:00How did it feel? Not nice. It didn't feel nice at all.
00:14So I think body shaming is not a cool concept. I've never liked it and it's
00:19important to recognize that you're going to have dips like this in your life.
00:22You're never going to be consistently perfect. Because I was one of those
00:26brilliant people who put on weight and then went on national TV and did a show
00:31with Vaseem Akram if you remember. I was superbly overweight. So it became like
00:36national news. I would see you know those stickers under the news channel, headlines
00:40may have you seen Sushmita Sen. But you know I learned something during that
00:48time. I will lose the weight but what are we going to do about the character
00:56everyone else lost in the process. And let me also tell you there are people in
01:00this world who have genetic issues. People who have health conditions. So to
01:05judge people is easy. But to let them just enjoy the moment is difficult
01:11because we are in in the limelight and we're people who are judged every day.
01:14But what it did do to me is it brought me back into recognizing the fact that
01:20not because people say so but I'm a strong woman. My strength can't be seen.
