Vidya balan addresses a sensitive issue in her latest video.

The 40 year old actress posted a video in which she is seen highlighting the most sensitive issue; body shamming. We often make mockery comments on people and body shame them without even thinking that it can have a terrible affect on them.

Most of us are potential victims of ‘body shaming’ – the widespread phenomenon of receiving cruel feedback when our bodies don’t meet the unrealistic beauty standards of our time.

The actor broke down while talking about the issue.

She herself has been body shammed. She said, In my early days, even before I entered the film industry, people said various discouraging things about me, they called me ‘moti‘ and I faced body shaming. It really affects our confidence. Physical fitness shouldn’t be achieving an unrealistic goal to look in a certain way and thinking that is beautiful.”
