The
Day
Everything
Changed
For
Zareen
And
Her
Family
Talking
to
Pinkvilla
about
the
time
when
her
family's
life
turned
upside
down,
Zareen
said,
"There
was
that
one
evening
that
changed
our
lives
completely.
My
dad
had
walked
out
on
us
and
left
us.
We
didn't
have
any
money
because
we
didn't
come
from
a
space
of
inherited
wealth.
There
was
this
one
night
where
we
were
all
there
together
as
a
family,
and
suddenly
my
mother
broke
down
completely.
I
tried
calming
her
and
explained
that
she
doesn't
have
to
worry,
I'll
take
care
of
everything.
Ab
maine
bol
toh
diya
tha
(I
said
it)
but
here
I
was,
with
over
100
kilos
not
knowing
what
I
want
to
do."
She
Started
Working
After
Completing
Her
12th
Grade
She
continued,
"Then,
I
started
a
job
at
a
call
centre.
My
sister
was
still
studying
and
I
had
just
completed
my
12th.
I
also
wanted
to
get
a
job
in
airline.
I
lost
over
52
kilos
weight
and
I
almost
removed
an
entire
person
off
my
body.
But
I'm
happy
that
today,
my
mother
feels
we
have
sailed
through
it."
Zareen
Has
Fought
Off
Trolls
Like
A
Boss
Zareen
has
frequently
been
targeted
by
trolls
and
has
been
a
victim
of
body
shaming.
However,
not
giving
in
to
the
trolling,
she
has
always
made
an
empowered
stance
regarding
her
body
weight
and
stretch
marks.
With
Regard
To
Work..
