"This is my original nose," declares Priyanka Chopra while discussing body shaming on The View
Bollywood's global actress Priyanka Chopra appeared on the chat show The View as a co-host. The ladies touched upon many topics including body shaming. Priyanka began to narrate one of her bad experiences in Bollywood saying, "Before I became an actor, I met a producer about the possibility of acting. I was a beauty pageant winner at that time, Miss World. And he said that everything was wrong about me. He said my nose was not proportionate, the shape of my body was not proportionate.."
Host Joy Behar interrupted here to ask, "Is that your original nose?", to which Priyanka replied, "Yes, this is my original nose.." The ladies had a good laugh before Priyanka continued, "There is such a false perception about what women should look like and what our bodies should look like. Especially when you are in the business, you put on a couple of pounds and people are like..body shaming you. It happens. Christmas happens to all of us. I have Holi, I have Diwali, and my body fluctuates and I am fine with it."
Well said, don't you think?
