“My Body Confidence Tips!” by Sonakshi Sinha

The curvy actress tells it like it is.

On being body-confident... Sonakshi Sinha: "For me, being body confident means that one has to be content in their skin and not live with the notion that being skinny is the only wat to look hot. You a certain could body look type, a certain but what’s way, and be important is that you’re comfortable with who you are and feel good about yourself.” On the importance of loving yourself...

SS: “For me, loving yourself is of paramount importance! I strongly believe that people who are confident about their physicality are confident otherwise as well, and that’s what matters the most.” On women feeling the pressure to look a particular size...

SS: “It can be attributed to a lot of things, but the fact is that women in general, and not just in India, feel the social pressure to be a certain size and weight. I think it’s this whole idea of people perceiving women, in a certain way, depending on their weight and that’s ridiculous! The most important thing is to love yourself and not get bogged down by what other people expect of you.” On the biggest tip to being comfortable in your skin...

SS: “I say this to a lot of people (even at the cost of repeating myself!), that the most important thing is to value yourself, and that’s my biggest tip. Nothing else matters. If you don’t love yourself, no-one will appreciate what you look like.” On the importance of looking a certain way in the film industry...

SS: “Yes, this need does exist in the industry, but I don’t think it’s necessarily a bad thing. Being actors, we’re constantly under the scanner and there is a requirement to look good. But we do it because we want to, not because it’s forced on us. It’s a personal choice at the end of the day.”
