On Tuesday, after seeing a video of seasoned actress Vidya Balan talking about how she faced body shaming comments, Manjima said “At the end of the day we all want to look and feel healthy. But it’s not the same process for everyone. For some it’s natural but for the others it will be difficult due to other issues.. stop bodyshaming! By body shaming someone they are not going to lose any weight. You will break their confidence! And to those who face it on a day to day basis, embrace all that is you and stay healthy”

Here’s her story :

Followed by that, Manjima shared a series of screenshots that contained comments asking the actress to reduce her weight and demotivating her of losing movie opportunities due to her weight. Manjima decided not to share the identity of the commenters as she didn’t want to bully them.

Here’s the screen shots shared by the actress :

“I am not someone who will pinpoint people and talk about their body or color or their upbringing. I don’t think I should either. Respect people for who they are. If you like them appreciate and if you don’t ignore! Bullying is wrong. Live and let live!” she said after sharing all the screenshots.

“I genuinely feel you have to be healthy. That doesn’t mean you have to be lean. They would ask why you look “sick” if you reduced your weight. They would also question you if you increase your weight. Body shaming is going to be there for a long time. As long as you are happy with yourself. That’s what matters” Manjima Mohan said in a recent interview.

“Look at Sai Pallavi, she is portraying herself with confidence. All that is such an inspiration I feel” she further added.
