In the entertainment world, the only criterion for the beauty of heroines is their slim body.
Any slight deviation from this leads to harsh criticism and body shaming. Miss World Aishwarya Rai Bachchan also had to endure severe criticism for gaining weight after becoming a mother. Now, Bollywood actress Radhika Apte has spoken out about a similar experience.
According to an Indian media report, Radhika got the opportunity to work in a big production film early in her acting career. But an unexpected incident happened before the shooting started. Radhika said that she had planned to go on a vacation before the shooting started.
The actress had informed the concerned people about this in advance. She even made it clear that he would not go on a diet while travelling and that she might gain some weight.
In Radhika’s words, “I was young then, my metabolism was also great. I knew I could lose weight quickly when I came back. But before the shoot, I had to participate in a photoshoot. There, I looked a little fat. I was dropped because I was fat.”
After losing her big job, Radhika became mentally devastated. She developed a fear of weight. Even if she gained a little weight, she would panic that she might lose her job again. After going through this trauma for a long time, she was finally forced to seek help from a professional psychologist.
Radhika recently became a mother. After giving birth, she naturally gained weight.
However, after overcoming the trauma of the past, she is now learning to look at life in a new way.
Radhika’s confession once again shows how much inhumane mental pressure even screen stars have to go through to maintain their careers.
