- According to her, while the television industry was obsessed with slim and fit heroines, she didn’t want to lose any weight because she liked herself the way she was. In the interview, she further added,
If I ever have to lose any weight, I’ll only go against what I have been saying for years; I am very comfortable in my own skin. I get messages from people who consider me their inspiration. I don’t want to disappoint them by going against what I have been striving to inculcate through my work and interaction with the audience. Even if I can inspire and make a difference to those few people, my work is done.”
- In an interview, she said that many people on social media body shame her. In the interview, she talked about how she faces the criticism and said,
I laugh after reading the comments. I don’t pay attention to trolls. Although, earlier I used to hate their words, now I don’t.” Comments like, “Weight to Kam Karo madam”, “Ye khatron ke khiladi mein jaake kya karegi” are common on her posts. I keep reading such comments and laugh it off. I have taken many solo adventurous trips, but at the same time, I feel I am not answerable to anyone when I am already a part of the show.”
