Revisiting her Student Of The Year days, the 29-year-old actress shared that being obsessed with how she looks took a toll on her. She said, "You think that’s the way it’s supposed to be. And it took a bit of a toll on me in terms of my obsession with my body and my weight."
Sharing a piece of advice to the younger generation, she said people need to be kinder to their bodies. She shared that picking on yourself means allowing others to do the same. She said, "It’s not about every little splodge of skin on your body. You can’t be squishing it and thinking, This is an issue. That is an issue. I’m saying, if you pick on yourself first, then you’re inviting every other [person’s] negative thoughts towards your body."
