It's the case with both, skinny and fat people.
Yes, thin wasn't so in in the 90s. However, these days, actresses lose out on jobs if they are not skinny, whereas that didn't happen to Ash. Deepika is mocked, but she doesn't have to actively put on weight to get roles whereas the reverse happens.
Not saying shaming thin people is justified, but honestly, being thin is a privilege these days. You automatically become beautiful if you're thin. Have seen it with my own weight loss.
