When Sonali Bendre recalled being ‘skinny-shamed’
The popular Bollywood actress, Sonali Bendre, once talked about the beauty standards prevalent during the 90s. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, she said that being skinny was not a requirement for women to be considered beautiful during that era. In fact, being voluptuous was considered the standard of beauty back then. The actress also revealed that she was skinny-shamed during that time. She said:
“Being skinny was definitely not the standard of beauty back in the 90s, so voluptuousness was the standard of beauty. I was told you were just not a woman enough if you were not voluptuous, you know, which it shouldn’t be. I do agree body shaming should not have any part in our society and especially little girls and the kind of ideas they are growing up with and the crazy dieting people are doing. People are forgetting that it is not holistic.”
