The renowned Indian actress Madhuri Dixit, a major figure in Bollywood, opened up in an interview with News18<\/a> about the body shaming she has experienced, particularly at the beginning of her career. Her testimony highlights the constant pressure placed on women's bodies, including within the film industry.<\/p>\n

Deemed "too thin" at the beginning<\/h2>\n

When she started out in the 1980s, Madhuri Dixit quickly faced comments about her appearance. At the time, she was considered "too thin." "They thought I was too skinny. They would say, 'Give her something to eat,'"<\/em> she recalls. According to Madhuri Dixit, the status of a public figure unfortunately inevitably exposes one to this type of comment: "People are very quick to judge."<\/em><\/p>\n

A constant judgment, in both directions<\/h2>\n

For the actress, the trap is that no option seems to spare women. "You're judged if you gain weight, you're judged if you lose it,"<\/em> she summarizes. Madhuri Dixit points to a particularly widespread problem in her country, where remarks about body image are made bluntly from the very first moment of an encounter. This brutal frankness, she emphasizes, "leaves little room for kindness."<\/em> <\/p>\n
