For the longest time all Bollywood stars have been debating one big issue—is it tough for the outsiders to crack the code? As it turns out, it is much more difficult than one can imagine. Believe it or not but people don’t hesitate in asking a newcomer to go through surgery to get films. This shocking truth was recently revealed by actress Sanya Malhotra.
In an interview, Sanya spoke about her journey in Bollywood and how she broke the mould. The Dangal star shared that before she got her dream debut project, people advised her to get her jaw reconstructed.
Sanya said, “I remember during Dangal someone told me to get your jaw reconstructed. I was like ye kya hota hai? Bhaiya, yeh toh humne nai suna. Main toh harran ho rahe the ki yeh jaw reconstruction ke liye kaise bol sakte hai. Seedhe se baat hai yeh kaise suggestion hai (What is this? I had never heard of her. I was shocked to hear that someone can ask for jaw reconstruction. The truth is what kind of suggestion was it)?”
The actress added that she was ‘very happy’ with her body. “Even when I came to Bombay I remember main auditions pe jati the aur bina makeup kiye jaati the. Itna confidence. Lena hai toh lenge warna main jaa rahe hu ghar. Aisa confidence tha (I used to go to auditions without any makeup. I had confidence. If they want me, they will take me as I am),” said Sanya.
I am proud of Sanya for staying true to herself. She didn’t let anyone alter her self-belief. In a world ruled by picture-perfect human beings, the bravest thing you can do is to be yourself.
Let’s not forget that a woman’s body is not a project that needs fixing. Sanya’s take on self-love is a message for everyone struggling with body image issues. You need to pick up your crown queen!
