Actress Lisa Ray says she is proud of her body but still has to struggle with being body shamed.

“I get it as well. We have a lot of trolling and things like that. I am very proud of who I am today but I honestly, I have to struggle with it as well,” Ray said.

Ray criticised the pressure women are under achieve a particular body type.

“We have to stop putting these unrealistic aspirations and it has to start with the media. There is so much of photo-shopping and things like that. I think we all love beautiful images but we also have to understand what goes into making those images,” said Ray,

A cancer survivor, the actress says she is conscious of her age but is practical about ageing.

“I am very happy and comfortable in my own skin today but I am 43 now and obviously I am never going to look like when I was 20,” she said.
