Vahbiz Dorabjee on body shaming: People who judge women on the basis of their shape and size are shallow

Actress Vahbiz Dorabjee has been sharing pictures of herself in bikinis and she looks stunning. She has a voluptuous body structure but the way she carries herself is an inspiration to many. Once upon a time, Vahbiz had to face a lot of body-shaming comments and trolls. Eventually, she gained the confidence to flaunt her curvy figure. During her interview to Bombay Times, Vahbiz opened up on body-shaming.

She said, “A few years ago, I gained weight due to a health condition. Sadly, if you are overweight, people tend to put you down; they criticise your sartorial choices because certain clothes are considered suitable only for thin women.”

“When I went for auditions, the makers would tell me that I needed to lose weight. Whenever I wore swimsuits, I was told I had thunder thighs and so should avoid wearing one! If you are plump, people call you rolu-molu and names like that, which can be demotivating. I have broken down many times and lost my confidence,” said the actress.

Vahbiz also said that she knows it is important to be fit, but sometimes, metabolism does not respond the way we want it to. On people being judgemental, she said, “People who judge women on the basis of their shape and size are shallow. The way you look should not be something that needs validation from anyone.”
