Shehnaaz Gill recalls being trolled for her body on Bigg Boss: ‘What does the world even want?’

Shehnaaz Gill, a prominent contestant on Bigg Boss 13, has recalled the intense trolling she faced for her body and language during her time on the show. In a recent interview, the actress expressed that she was heavily criticized for her Punjabi accent and called "anpadh gawaar" (uneducated) by viewers. Despite the negativity, Shehnaaz believes that the very things she was mocked for became part of her identity and strength, propelling her to national fame.

Following her stint on Bigg Boss, Shehnaaz underwent a body transformation and shared that it was not a big deal for her to shed some weight. She openly embraced her fuller figure, stating that if someone feels good in their skin, it is perfectly acceptable. The actress also questioned the obsession with having an hourglass figure, emphasizing that body standards are driven by trends. She suggested that if people begin to embrace healthier body types, it could become a trend as well.

During her film Ishqnama, Shehnaaz faced criticism from her director regarding her facial features, with requests to avoid contouring her thin face. However, she appreciated her appearance in the movie, describing herself as "sexy." She also mentioned that critics are always ready to pounce upon her regardless of her weight, criticizing her for losing weight or gaining weight and questioning what the world even wants.

She concluded by asserting that as long as someone is healthy, it is okay to be comfortable in their own skin.
