Physical appearance is an illusion: Sonakshi Sinha
Mumbai Aug 11 (IANS) Actress Sonakshi Sinha who has been often body-shamed on social media says there is so much more to a person than their looks and that physical appearance is just an illusion.
In a conversation with BIG FM Sonakshi said: "There is so much more to a person than their looks. I am someone who has been on the other side and thus seen both sides of the coin. I have grown up as an over-weight teenager. It was not ever a problem for me. It didn t used to matter that how fat I am and how much kilos I need to shed which actually people were pointing out to me."
The "Dabangg" actress says her weight and looks was such a small thing in comparison to the skills she is blessed with.
"I used to focus on other things which I am good at. That way I never felt pressurized to get slim " she added.
Sonakshi 31 says even after shedding enough weight and becoming an actor she has made sure to project a healthy body image.
"And come across as a good impression for people especially girls who get easily influenced at a very young age. I understand this considering that I too wished to look like these slim models which would appear on these fashion magazines in my younger days. Physical appearance is an illusion. It is unrealistic. That is it " she said.
On the work front Sonakshi will next be seen in "Happy Phirr Bhag Jayegi" and is also prepping for "Kalank".
