Have you ever been a victim of body shaming? Does size really matter?

Oh, so many times! And yet I continued to thrive because more than the people who hated or trolled me for my size, I had more people who loved and adored me for the same. I won’t say it didn’t affect me but I was never uncomfortable or ashamed of my heavier body size. In fact, I have thrived and made a career out of it.

Who was your first crush?

Everyone’s first crush is during their school days. As a teenager, I had crushes on many actors. But I guess things and feelings change as we grow up!

How old were you when you had your first kiss?

Ahem Ahem! Let’s keep some details of my life personal. But I promise it was my parents who kissed me first. And the rest, let’s say it was a silly kiss but yet a memorable one. (Winks)

What qualities in a man attract you the most?

Honesty and integrity. Ah! I love these the most.

What really turns you off?

Well, I really get turned off when friends get into a casual conversation about others, take my view on it and then it’s passed on with lots of masala to others and that in turn creates misunderstandings. It’s a turn off for me when my friends do it. I slowly back off from being around them.

What’s the most embarrassing thing your parents have caught you doing?

Oh God! My parents are the sweetest. Even if there has been an awkward situation my parents have handled it so casually that it made me wonder whether it was embarrassing or not! But my sister used to take my phone and go through my chats many times and then embarrass me with slight hints in public.
