i am sad :(

I was watching Udaan today as i couldn't see it yesterday. My friend came and then started asking questions what is the serial about, who are they etc... when i told her chakor is a marathon runner and sports celeb, she literally started laughing and her words were "you are fuc..ing kidding me, why would a national running champion be so fat? when you run/train so much there is no possiblity of having so much baby fat"

Don't be sad its just a show and we all know Actor is just playing her part n not a real athlete.And Meera is a brilliant actress :-)

And We all love sukor :-)

I think you should be sad for your friend that she holds such uninformed opinions disseminated to her by the media. There is no rule that states that athletes must be slim and trim, this is false.

Well said Rey, well said!!! 👏 👏 👏

First of all, I do not find Meera chubby, she has a full figure that is a pleasant change for someone who has struggled with weight issues in the past. There is nothing wrong with being thin, but those women are overly represented in the industry to the extent that chubbier women are shamed for not conforming, and this needs to change.

Now coming to the idea that a marathon runner should be slim. Athletes are often required to develop muscle mass, to give them the strength to play whatever sport they do. Take a look at Sanya Mirza one of India's most celebrated tennis players. Look at Venus and Serena Williams for that matter. They can all be considered 'chubby'. Truth is, they need the protein to build muscle and stamina. So Chakor 'looking' a bit heavier than other girls is completely understandable.

Is it me or did Meera indeed looked more slim when she started with the show????
I feel she looked much better than, but that is ofcourse how the make up department sucks. Also the dresses she wore those days were so much better and made her look younger too. I just loved those dresses she wore than. These days I don't like her dresses at all and I wonder why they give her long sleeves all the time...
Also I think becoz of excessive makeup she gets these breakouts too and the make up department doesn't even care to cover them up nicely, especially in close up scenes it shows..I miss those scarfs that she used to wear...looks like make up and dress department ppl changed too
