Beyhadh actress Aneri Vajani is the latest victim of body shaming for posting a picture in lingerie for International Yoga Day. She was trolled by the netizens for being too skinny. Aneri captioned the picture as, “When You Own Your Breath NoBody Steals Your Peace! Happy Yoya Day! 🙂 #yoga day!”
Aneri was not someone to stay silent. She also gave a fitting reply to the haters. She wrote, “Yes, I posted a picture on Instagram! Some people liked it, some didn’t. But honestly, what’s wrong with you people, if you are fat and you post a picture, the world has a problem, if you are skinny and you post such a picture, the world still has a problem. Guys, if you have so much of issue ignore the picture! The picture is for me and I posted it on my account. So take a chill pill, bhagwan neshakal toh achi di hain, shayad toh baatein bhi achi kar liya karo! koi baat nahibhagwan sab thik kar dega. Bas apni soch toh khud hi thik karni padegi. Dhanyawad!”
Also, her co-star the gorgeous and classy Jennifer Winget raised her voice in support of Aneri. She said, “You know – AS PEOPLE, we’d like to have some personal and private space because sometimes we owe that to ourselves – that normalcy. Doing things that go unnoticed had anyone else chosen to do so. Call us naive, but with all the love and constructive criticism that our fans give us, we just assume that respect for that little privacy and commonness comes with it. “
She further said, “As actors, however, it probably slips up on us at times that we are consistently under the public radar, perpetually socially exemplary and always left open to trolling, body shaming – we signed up for it whether we like it or not; dressed completely, aesthetically or whatever way “people” think doesn’t work for them. Well, if it works for us, that’s all that should matter, we don’t think what they saying about ourselves. We’re happy being us skinny fat or flabby. Just like everyone, we too are trying to figure our body out – dealing with it as would you, in a healthy manner eating right, working out. We’re all made differently. By shaming each other, we’re really shaming ourselves. We work hard in our jobs just as anyone and at the end of the day we’d like our hard work to not have to bother about what people think we do or don’t or who we are or are not. They don’t know us, happily unfollow, that’s easier to do!”
Wow! What a reply. Jennifer has proved that she is not only exclusive in the serial Beyhadh but also in her reply to body-shamers.
