Shruti Haasan On Being Called 'Fat': It Really Hurts
Speaking of criticism on her social media pages, Shruti Haasan says she has been fat-shamed but she has overcome it and now, hardly pays any attention to negativity.
In
her
latest
interview
with
Deccan
Chronicle,
Shruti
Haasan
opens
about
her
next
Bollywood
project
and
facing
bodyshaming.
Shruti
Haasan
was
last
seen
in
Behen
Hogi
Teri.
When
asked
about
her
next
Bollywood
film,
she
was
quoted
as
saying,
"The
reality
is
that
right
now,
I
have
taken
a
break
for
a
year.
Maybe
I
will
slowly
tap
into
Bollywood,
because
right
now
I
am
doing
other
things.
Currently,
I
am
focused
on
the
films
that
I
am
doing
in
Tamil
and
Telugu,
and
music.
If
something
interesting
comes
up
in
Bollywood,
then
I
will
definitely
do
it."
In
the
same
interview,
Shruti
Haasan
also
revealed
that
she's
also
getting
offers
from
the
digital
space
but
she
chose
to
turn
them
down.
"I
have
to
be
convinced
before
I
jump
into
it.
I
think
the
digital
space
is
transforming;
I
want
to
understand
the
value
of
that.
I
see
the
obsession
that
people
have
with
different
seasons
and
that's
amazing,
and
I
believe
it
is
worth
exploring."
Speaking
of
criticism
on
her
social
media
pages,
Shruti
Haasan
says
she
has
been
fat-shamed
but
she
has
overcome
it
and
now,
hardly
pays
any
attention
to
negativity.
She
says,
"Honestly,
I
have
not
been
mocked
down
recently,
but
there
are
a
lot
of
people
who
say
'oh
she
is
getting
married',
'she
has
become
fat',
all
of
this.
At
that
point,
it
really
hurts,
because
I
knew
I
had
health
issues."
"I
knew
that
I
have
never
ever
taken
enough
time
in
10
years
to
take
care
of
myself,
and
every
human
being
deserves
that.
I
needed
some
love
and
silence
and
self-introspection
to
really
be
me."
Shruti
Haasan
also
concluded
by
saying
that
she
has
gotten
a
lot
of
criticism
and
it
doesn't
bother
her
anymore.
Kudos
to
Ms
Haasan!
