Tejasswi Prakash Recalls Facing Body Shaming for Her ‘Weird’ Body Type. What?
Tejasswi Prakash opened up about the bullying she endured growing up due to her body type.
Being body-shamed as a girl is not uncommon in our society, and people don’t realise the repercussions of such actions. While many actors have time and again admitted that they have been body-shamed in their lives, we don’t seem to be doing any better. During a recent conversation, Tejasswi Prakash opened up about the bullying she endured growing up due to her body type.
Tejasswi Prakash On Being Body-Shamed
Tejasswi discussed being body-shamed for having a thin body and a round face, noting that she’s always been on the thinner side with Humans Of Bombay. She finds it amusing when people comment on her weight, either by saying she’s too thin or that she’s now “healthy.” However, she pointed out that similar comments wouldn’t typically be made if someone had gained weight.

Tejasswi mentioned having a unique body type, with a slender body and a fuller face, which led to confusion and remarks like “football face.” Even now, she still has a chubby face, and she isn’t sure if she can change it. Despite this, she doesn’t take such comments negatively. Instead, she focuses on making positive adjustments, such as increasing her protein intake or practicing face yoga.
