Indian ladies tired of the monotonous experiences to concern about the negative thoughts on appearances, weight, and age to body-shaming. Finally pushed them to think out of the box, which will encourage them to establish themselves as they are in real shape.  Training the mind of the people to open their boundaries, here are few women who taught to love themselves as they are:

Zareen Khan

Indian Bollywood actress Zarine Khan has been one of the victims of body shaming when she lost weight of more than 50 kg. Her followers started trolling her because of her stretch marks that were visible in her picture. Followers trolled her on social media account but Bollywood actress Zarine Khan responded with honesty.

Those who have been convinced by edited pictures were shocked to find out the reality. Her bold feminine nature was clear when Zareen Khan pointed about sharing her original pictures after losing weight. Also, she expressed her pride in the truth and overcoming the narrow thoughts on body shaming.

Anjali Anand

Revolution took place when thoughts changed with the actress Anjali Anand in Kulfi Kumarr Bajewala. The slim appearance with sharp features did not strike a bit when the plus-size woman was seen playing the leading role in the series. Breaking the stereotypes of the meaning of beauty, this actress was popular in Untag, 2017.

She was seen to carry a weight of 75 kg approximately in her popular series. Facing the bitterness on body shaming  Anjali Anand mentioned the comment calling her “Moti Bhains” on social media.  But audiences could not ignore her performance as an actress in her Tv and web series.

Anjana Bapat

When anyone thinks or talks about belly dancers, the First performer that comes to mind from India is Maya Elixir or Meher Malik. But the meaning of good performer as an Indian belly dancer has changed when Anjana Bapat, introduced herself as the belly dancer who worked beyond the thoughts of body shaming.

Performs not only as a belly dancer but as is now known as the plus-size model, who has worked for branded companies like Lakme.

Bharti Singh

Who doesn’t knows Bharti, the comedian Tv actress? Ruling as the popular Indian actress in the world of comedy has set a landmark for those seeking a typecast form of an actress. No doubt, her extra plus size was a compliment to the world of laughter. But it is not easy to cope-up with the entire negativities that she had faced during the beginning of a career as an actress.

Now, she rules as one of the comedy Indian ladies overcame the falsehood of body shaming. Bharti Singh had struggled at her beginning, did not allow the thoughts of others to impact her looks and career together. Everyone loves her as she is!

Bhumi Pednekar

Unattractive wife with kilos of put on weights was her role in the movie “ Dum Laga ke Haisa”. Her transformation in her latest movie Bala starring opposite Ayushman Khurrana was amazing.  The guilt of having a plus-size body and negligence was already seen and explained in her first movie.

Dum Laga Ke Haisha introduces the culture of mass marriages carried out in India.

Indian marriages are considered big, grand and colorful, almost like a festive celebration.

Well sometimes the brides-to-be aren’t from well off families to mark a grand celebration of the most important occasion of their lives. The government and some organizations come to their rescue. They arrange mass weddings wherein many people participate and get hitched in one ‘mandap’ (venue).

This way the cost is shared amongst the families and the grandeur of the occasion is also not compromised.

In this movie, Ayshmann Khurrana gets into such a marriage and is hitched to Bhumi Padnekar.

It is evident that he clearly didn’t expect the pairing to happen this way.

Looks as if the number 18 is forced on him.

Are these numbers decided beforehand by the families or are they just randomly numbered and the people sporting the same numbers are coupled?

Really if the numbering is random then I don’t even want to imagine the plight of the person who isn’t satisfied. A blind date gone wrong is still fine but to get committed for the rest of your life is a different ballgame altogether.

Well such traditions do happen in India and it isn’t restricted to any religion.

In 2011 3,600 couples were reported to be married in such a grand ceremony. They belonged to various religions and sects – Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Christians, Adivasis, etc.

Sometimes it is the organisations and at times it might be a rich tycoon donning the duties of a father figure to several unfortunate girls.

The end of 2014 witnessed a gesture of goodwill by an Indian diamond trader who arranged a mass wedding for 111 fatherless women. He decided to be the father of all these women and gift each bride gold and gifts worth almost $7250.

In the above case it was a gesture of goodwill but in some cases it gets ugly.

The Madhya Pradesh Govt. was in the news for conducting a virginity and pregnancy test on the women participating in the mass marriage they organized. 450 women were reported to undergo this testing and 9 women, as per reports, were banned from participating as they were found pregnant.
