Mrunal Thakur On Being Affected By Body Shaming
During her conversation with News18, Mrunal Thakur spoke about pressures to fit into the beauty standards and facing criticism, which would often affect her. The actress revealed that she has had days when she would cry herself to sleep. She would wake up with puffy eyes and tell herself that it’s not worth it. The Son of Sardaar 2 star mentioned that overcoming these feelings needed a lot of strength, especially in an environment where support was not always available. She then realised that it was all rooted in confidence. The actress recalled an incident when a young fan expressed their admiration for her body, which prompted Mrunal to think that she herself wanted someone else’s physique. This is where the actress understood how important it was to value herself.
