Body shaming should not be encouraged at all costs. There are a lot of bullies in society who ridicule people and shatter their confidence. But there are only a few who gets motivated and inspired by the harsh comments and make something good out of it. Young beauty Iswarya Menon seems to be one such personality. She acted in movies like ‘Veera’, ‘Tamizh Padam 2’ and did a series titled ‘Tamil Rockerz’ which is streaming on Sony Liv platform.
She decided to tell her story of how she was fat-shamed since childhood and how she decided to get fit. Posting a stunning click where she is seen in her gym wear, the actress flaunted her slim and fit body. With boxing gloves on, she looks fantastic leaning on the wall and her fans are loving these clicks.
She wrote, “I wanna put out my personal story here, rather than putting some random caption or quotes. My journey with fitness has been very personal. I used to be really fat as a kid, back in school I was constantly ridiculed and identified as a ‘ Girl who is fat & looks round like a maida ball’ & many horribly mean things. ppl used to always make fun of me, laugh at me. It always annoyed me , because I dint want to be identified ,recognised like that. In modern terms right now, we call it bullying.”
She added, “But back then I used to be super naive and innocent & I have never reacted to it. I used to always smile & go away. But in my head , I told myself no! I am not going to be identified as ‘fat’. That’s when things changed & that’s how my fitness journey started . I started working out from the age of 16 …. I took every ridicule as constructive criticism & worked out so hard ever since. Tried every stupid diet on the planet to become thin ! There was a phase of my life where I shocked my genes & had become skinny infact.”
Iswarya explained, “Later I realised , noooo i Dont wanna impress others, I don’t wanna be thin. I wanna be healthy & I wanna be fit in my own terms. Hence I started working out , not to become skinny , but to become fit. Now fitness has become my lifestyle . I am soooooo thankful to those who ridiculed me, if they hadn’t put me down & insulted me like that , I would have never been this fit or taken fitness this seriously. My sincere gratitude to them. What about you? Do you have a story to share? If so ! Comment below , I would love to read about you and your story.”
