Temptation Island India- Tejasswi Prakash's Co-star Recalls Being Bullied At School, 'Was Called Motu...'

Temptation Island India: Tempter Aryan Arora was once bullied as a child for being overweight, but he decided to work on himself and lost 15 kgs. He expressed himself by saying "Being ridiculed for my weight during my school days was a harsh reality I faced. However, instead of letting those experiences define him, the actor chose to redefine himself.

Now, as a Tempter on JioCinemas' Temptation Island, he is ready to rock and roll and impress the audience. "I stand as a testament to the power of resilience and self-improvement. Transforming my challenges into opportunities, I encourage everyone to embrace their journey, knowing that strength can emerge from the most unexpected places. Let your transformation be a beacon of inspiration for others, proving that adversities can be stepping stones to success," he said in a statement.

Aryan Arora, who has come a long way in his television career, was once a "self-conscious introvert" who found it hard to talk to people, let alone face the camera. The Chashni actor recalls being bullied and teased as a child for being overweight, and he hadn't even in his wildest dreams thought of becoming an actor.

"I was almost 98 kgs at the age of 15, and no one in my family really paid attention to it, I don't know why. That was the worst phase of my life due to everyday trolling that I had to go through. I was bullied in school and was called names like 'motu,' 'haathi,' and whatnot. The harassment went to the extent that school kids would get physical while teasing me, as I had man boobs. That kept me really disturbed," Aryan was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.

Aryan is also known for his performance in Naagin 6 which starred Tejasswi Prakash in a lead role.

Temptation Island is hosted by Karan Kundrra and Mouni Roy. The popular series is available for streaming in JioCinema.
