Sonakshi Sinha On Being Bullied For Her Weight: Never Took It To Heart, There’s More To Me
Sonakshi Sinha has been subjected to body shaming and trolling on the internet, but the actress has never let it dampen her spirits. In a recent interview, she opened up about how she was bullied even after losing a lot of weight before her debut movie, Dabangg. She didn't let the bullying bring her down because she always derived her self-worth from more than just her size.
In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Sonakshi said, "You know, I was always an overweight child. I used to be 95 kilos in school. People bullied me, and the boys called me names."
She
continued,
"I
never
took
the
bullying
to
heart.
And
I
didn't
let
it
bring
me
down
because
I've
always
known
there's
much
more
to
me
than
my
weight
or
my
size."
Sonakshi
lost
30
kilos
before
making
her
big
Bollywood
debut
with
Dabangg,
starring
opposite
Salman
Khan.
Even
then,
her
body
weight
was
a
big
point
of
discussion.
Regarding that, she said, "It was a huge achievement for me. And I was so proud of myself. But people were still talking about how much I weighed and how I looked! Eventually, I told myself that I wouldn't let them bring me down because they had no idea what I had been through, how hard I had worked to get here. And, in the end, it really didn't matter what they thought. They were not the ones in a big-ticket Bollywood film, I was!"
Sonakshi was last seen in the third installment of the Dabangg franchise, Dabangg 3. She will next be seen in the war-action film, Bhuj: The Pride Of India, starring alongside Ajay Devgn, Sanjay Dutt, Nora Fatehi, Ammy Virk, Sharad Kelkar, and Pranitha Subhash.
