A few days back, Ileana D'Cruz revealed that she had been facing body shaming for quite some time. She said she even struggled with weight issues and has been troubled by incessant trolling as well. However, now she says that she is learning to acknowledge that her body is flawed and that it was okay.
Speaking to Mumbai Mirror, the Pagalpanti actress talked about how we are constantly trying to look at our body in a certain way. "If I look in the mirror and see that I am a bit lumpy, I should be okay with it as it is normal. It's okay to have a little bump, some scars too, as they add to your character, make you who you are. One needs to be forgiving towards oneself, understand that we were not meant to be perfectly sculpted statues. We are flawed and imperfect as that is what makes us who we are," she said.
