Alia Bhatt On Facing Body Image Issues
In a recent interview with Allure Magazine, star Alia Bhatt opened up about facing body image issues after she became an actor. She began by describing herself as a chubby and content child who had no issues growing up. Having said that, it all changed for her as soon as she became an actor. Bhatt revealed that she continued facing the issue even after losing weight. “I have struggled with body-image issues since then. No matter how much weight I lost, I always struggled,” she recalled. She shared that her friends would often ask her to stop dieting and live a little but she kept thinking, ‘Once a fat kid, always a fat kid’ in her mind.

This was such an insightful conversation. It’s a big thing when a major celebrity talks about such issues which makes others relate to them and follow them even more.
