Kajol recently opened up about how she dealt with people calling her ‘fat and dark’ during the initial days of her career.

Kajol is one of the most talented and versatile actresses in Bollywood. In fact, she has been a part of many hit films. Not just that, the actress is quite known to speak her mind, and recently she got opened up about when she was body shamed during the initial days of her career. Kajol revealed she was called dark, fat, and whatnot.

Talking about being body shamed, Kajol says…

In an interview with Humans of Bombay, Kajol said, “She is dark, she is fat and she wears specs all the time. These were some of the judgements that were passed when I first started working in the industry. I couldn’t care less. I knew I was smart, cool and better than everyone out there who had any negative thoughts about me. So, I kept continuing to be myself and never let it show. Sooner or later, when they couldn’t pull me down, the world simply embraced me for who I was – Kajol.”

In an old interview, Kajol had strongly reacted to reports of undergoing skin whitening surgery. The actress had told Pinkvilla, “I have not undergone any skin whitening surgery. I have just stayed out of the sun! For 10 years of my life, I worked all the time under the sun, which is why I got tanned! And now I am not working in the sun anymore.”

Adding to that, Kajol joked, “So, I’ve got untanned! It’s not a skin whitening surgery, it’s a stay-at-home surgery.”

On the work front, Kajol was last seen in Salaam Venky. She delivered a terrific performance in Revathi’s directorial. On the other hand, Kajol is set to make her OTT debut with a series titled The Good Wife: Pyaar, Kanoon, Dhokha. Kajol will be seen as a lawyer in Disney+ Hotstar’s upcoming project.
