Celebrities seem so much more like normal people when you consider that they too are victims of body shaming; sometimes it’s the agent, sometimes the producer and sometimes it’s just the pressure of health or the industry. Many celebrities work hard therefore to shed those unwanted kilos. The latest to jump on the bandwagon is comedian Bharti Singh, who shed about 15kg, calling it a ‘health decision’.

Singh, who was last seen on 'The Kapil Sharma' show, said she dropped from 91kg to 76kg and it’s changed her life. “ I don’t feel breathless. As I have lost weight my diabetes and asthma is also under control. I follow intermittent fasting and don’t eat between 7pm and 12pm. Slowly my body has started accepting this change. I don’t have my dinner any later than 7pm,” she told an Indian media house. Bharti may have also taken the decision because she’s thinking about conceiving. “Whenever it happens I will be the first one to tell. I don’t hide things from my fans. I have got so much love for them,” she added. Image Credit: Insta/bharti.laughterqueen

Bollywood actor Parineeti Chopra not only accepts that she was overweight but even talks openly about feeling unfit. "BEFORE... All my life, I have struggled with how I look, how I feel, and how people looked at me. I was constantly made fun of, but the person I was, I generously laughed with them. Today, many people ask me what triggered the weight loss, did I give in to the 'Bollywood pressure'? To that I say - thank god I became an actor and had that pressure!
