Bollywood can be quite an unforgiving place for many stars. And more often than not celebs find it difficult to make their way into Bollywood. Not being Indian can just add to the disadvantages. We are already familiar with the struggles of Nora Fatehi, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Katrina. Gabrielle Demetriades, Arjun Rampal’s girlfriend joined the list as well.
The celeb opened up about her experience with body-shaming. While it is a sad reality, body shaming has become quite the pesky issue in the industry that doesn’t seem to want to leave anytime soon. Gabrielle was body-shamed for her unusual body type.
According to a Koimoi report, during an Instagram Q&A session, a fan had posted a question asking “Have you ever struggled with your body confidence/ image? any advice?” The actress’s response was, “Yes, sadly the fashion industry wasn’t as diverse as it is today. I would be told all the time I’m not tall enough, my hips are too big, my thighs too thick, basically whatever they didn’t like. It took me a long time to not place my worth on those things.”
The actress was also asked about how she maintains her healthy-looking skin, to which the actress responded with, “I still have some pigmentation from pregnancy but I feel no alcohol, lots of sleep and exercise, and a good routine (washing your face, sunscreen, moisturizer when needed, and lots of Vitamin C) has helped me,” she answered.
