Rhea Kapoor, Ileana D’Cruz, Sara Ali Khan: Bollywood celebs who advocate body positivity | The Times of India
Ileana D’Cruz had recently revealed that, for a long time, she had struggled with body image issues. Last year, she had shared in an Instagram post, “I’ve always worried about how I looked. I’ve worried my hips are too wide, my thighs too wobbly, my waist not narrow enough, my tummy not flat enough, my boobs not big enough, my butt too big, my arms too jiggly, nose not straight enough, lips not full enough….. I’ve worried that I’m not tall enough, not pretty enough, not funny enough, not smart enough, not “perfect” enough. Not realising I was never meant to be perfect.” Adding that she is slowly overcoming it, Ileana wrote, “I was meant to be beautifully flawed. Different. Quirky. Unique. Every scar, every bump, every “flaw” just made me, me. My own kind of beautiful. That’s why I’ve stopped. Stopped trying to conform to the world’s ideals of what’s meant to be beautiful. I’ve stopped trying so hard to fit in. Why should I?? When I was born to stand out.”
