We’ve had so many women talk about body shaming, and we’ve had so many posts related to the topic that have been shared on our Insta, but sadly, the issue still persists. Whether you’re a famous actor or a crowned beauty pageant winner, you’ll still find yourself under the pressure of living up to society’s so-called beauty standards. After winning the beauty pageant and making India proud, Harnaaz Sandhu was brutally trolled and bullied for her weight gain.
Harnaaz revealed that she has also been diagnosed with celiac disease, which led her to gain weight. She said that she felt bullied by people and TBH, it was heartbreaking. But looks like Harnaaz has risen above the trolls and is owning herself like a boss. In a recent interview, she again opened up about people’s comments on her weight gain and we’re loving her attitude.
The pageant winner said, “I was really disheartened when I saw people bashing me for my weight gain but I didn’t let them describe me. There are young girls, like six-seven-year-old girls, and even boys looking up to me. And if they see me being timid, they see me being not strong enough, I don’t think that would be the right way to be that impactful person or inspire them. I want to tell them that inspiration starts within you, if you inspire yourself then you can inspire others”.
All we wanna say is—you go, girl! We’re glad that Harnaaz has found her way through all the negativity and bullying. The world can be quite a mean place but if you’ve got goodness within you, then nothing can stop you! We’re proud of Harnaaz and we hope she keeps thriving! *Cheers*
