Being
a
public
figure
has
its
own
pros
and
cons
and
no
one
knows
it
better
than
the
star
kids,
who
start
facing
paparazzi
even
before
making
a
name
for
themselves
in
the
film
industry.
Speaking
about
the
same,
Ananya
spoke
to
Bollywood
Bubble
and
recalled
how
netizens
were
mean
to
her
appearances
even
before
she
made
her
debut
in
Bollywood.
Reminiscing
about
the
days
before
the
release
of
Student
Of
The
Year
2,
the
Khaali
Peeli
actress
said,
"I
don't
remember
the
exact
time
but
I
remember
there
used
to
be
pictures
of
me
with
my
parents.
At
that
time,
I
wasn't
an
actor.
I
would
go
out
with
my
parents
and
as
I
said,
I
was
very
thin.
People
said
I
look
like
a
boy,
a
flatscreen
and
all
those
kinds
of
things."
She
further
said
that
at
that
time,
those
comments
affected
her,
because
those
were
the
times
when
she
was
forming
her
self-confidence
and
was
learning
to
love
herself.
"And
then,
when
you
feel
like
someone
else
is
pulling
you
down,
you
start
doubting
yourself,
the
way
you
look
and
everything.
But
I
feel
like
now,
slowly,
I
am
reaching
a
point
where
I
am
just
focusing
on
accepting
myself," added
Ananya.
When
asked
if
she
has
become
thick-skinned
enough
so
that
trolls
don't
affect
her
mental
peace,
Ananya
said
that
she
feels
like
she
is
reaching
that
point
in
her
life
now.
"It's
an
ongoing
process.
I
can't
say
that
it
doesn't
hurt
me.
I
feel
like
I
am
pretty
thick-skinned
and
strong," asserted
the
Pati
Patni
Aur
Woh
actress.
Unfortunately,
not
only
Ananya,
but
many
young
stars
have
been
victims
of
body-shaming
and
received
flak
over
their
appearances.
