‘You can never win. People will constantly judge you’
Says Ananya Pandey in conversation with YouTuber and influencer Lilly Singh
Actress Ananya Pandey has talked about how she faced body shaming both for being too skinny and later for her natural curves, showing that women are constantly judged.
The actress was in a conversation with YouTuber and social media influencer Lilly Singh. The video was shared on Instagram, where Ananya was heard saying: “ You can never win. I was 18, 19 when I started out, and I was really skinny, and everyone used to make fun about that. You have chicken legs, and you look like a matchstick, and you don’t have t**s, and you don’t have an a**. So that was what it was first.”
Ananya said that she is growing up and her body’s “filling out,” she still got judged.
“They were like, oh, there’s no way she’s got her b*** done, or she’s got this done. So you can never win. People will constantly have something to say and criticize that.”
She stresses how films have set an unrealistic beauty standard. “We have set unrealistic beauty standards in the films that we’ve... you’re all beautiful, you wake up in the morning,and your hair’s done, and it’s not true.”
Lilly captioned the post: “Oops, @ananyapanday spitting pure facts! From why women can never win to what really happens behind the scenes…and in the rain – we talk about it all....”
