Nimrat Kapoor took the internet by storm earlier when she posted a before-after picture of herself. In the two pictures, the actress can be seen before and after losing the weight that she gained for the movie Dasvi. The actress sums up her ten-month-long journey, where she gained nearly fifteen pounds. The note sends out a very positive message for body positivity and self-image.
In the note, she talked about her experience when she was gaining weight for the movie Dasvi and how it brought learnings that would last a lifetime. She recalls how initially, she was petrified of embracing her new self, but through the right conversations with herself and her loved ones she was fully prepared for her new role, Bimla.
In the note, she writes, “Ever so often, watching me eat high calorie meals already being a few sizes bigger, some people around me felt they had the right to comment on what they thought I was doing wrong. It would be a snide remark, an uncalled-for joke or simply an unsolicited piece of advice on what I should be eating instead of a dessert I was enjoying very much.”
Nimrat Kaur then mentioned that she put this message out there so that we all could have a larger dialogue about mindfulness, sensitivity, and empathy. She concluded by saying, “Make only your mind and body your business. No one else’s.”
