Sonam Kapoor Opens Up On Suffering From Skin & Body Insecurities When She Was Younger
Sonam Kapoor opened up about insecurities with her body and skin that she used to have when she was younger. She feels it is important for young boys and girls to understand that no one is perfect.
Sonam
Kapoor
is
a
true
fashionista;
she
values
feeling
good
in
one's
own
skin
rather
than
bend
over
backwards
to
achieve
acceptable
standards
of
beauty.
The
actress,
who
was
promoting
her
recently
released,
The
Zoya
Factor,
opened
up
about
insecurities
with
her
body
and
skin
that
she
used
to
have
when
she
was
younger.
A
while
back,
Sonam
had
shared
a
photo
of
her
skin
with
the
makeup
half
done,
to
encourage
young
girls
to
love
themselves
as
they
are.
Through
the
picture,
she
showed
that
even
celebrities
who
comes
across
as
being
perfect,
are
in
fact
imperfect.
In
an
interview
with
Pinkvilla,
Sonam
was
asked
if
posting
the
photo
was
a
conscious
decision.
She
said,
"Yes,
100%.
I
see
a
lot
of
young
boys
and
girls
look
at
themselves
and
not
like
themselves.
I
think
it
has
a
lot
to
do
with
social
media
and
I
think
it
has
a
lot
to
do
with
the
Internet.
I
make
a
joke
of
it
all
the
time
but
it
has
taken
me
a
long
time
to
come
to
a
point
where
I
really
love
myself.
I
had
a
lot
of
insecurities,
I
was
very
big
when
I
was
young.
I
had
skin
issues,
body
issues
and
many
other
issues."
She
added,
"Now,
I
really
like
where
I
am
and
I
really
enjoy
it.
It
has
a
lot
to
do
with
my
friends
and
family
and
it
has
a
lot
to
do
with
me
and
how
much
work
I
put
it
myself.
I
just
want
young
girls
and
boys
to
know
that
it
is
okay.
It
is
fine
to
be
where
you
are,
and
everybody
is
perfect."
Her
co-star
Dulquer
Salmaan
praised
Sonam
for
being
real,
and
said,
"A
lot
of
times
I
feel
that
everybody
is
projecting
an
image
on
social
media,
it
is
maybe
their
looks
or
lifestyle,
so
much
of
projection
which
is
not
actually
what
it
is.
Only
the
happy,
fun
and
beautiful
side
is
projected.
So,
when
Sonam
does
something
like
this
it
is
great.
That
I
hope
will
influence
kids
to
look
at
things
differently."
The
Zoya

a
welcoming
reception

a
girl
named
