Actor Deepti Sadhwani on beauty standards in South: They don't want skinny actors
Actor Deepti Sadhwani, known for her role in 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah', recently opened up about the beauty standards in the entertainment industry. She spoke about the pressure to conform to stereotypes and how she eventually overcame an exclusive interview with Deepti recalled an incident when she was set to walk in a fashion show. However, things took a turn when the designers called her 'fat,' prompting her to undergo a drastic physical her story, the actor said, 'Before Cannes, I was supposed to walk for a fashion show and someone told me I was fat and I took it to heart. If you compare me from last year to now, I've lost 18 kg. This was around seven months ago, just before Paris Fashion Week. I was all set to be a showstopper. Everything was ready, but during trials, the outfit didn't fit. That's when I said to myself, 'I'm going to change. I'll fit into that size 8.' Eventually, I went beyond that and I came down to a size 6. I lost more than expected.' The actor further spoke about how beauty standards in showbiz can take a toll on one's mental health. She compared it to the South Indian film industry and pointed out how women have been objectified in Bollywood for the longest on the issue, she said, 'That's absolutely true. But things are changing now. Earlier, fashion shows mostly featured size four or size six models. Today, inclusivity has become a key focus.'If you go to the South, they actually prefer a fuller body, being skinny often doesn't work there. And in other regions, it's the complete opposite. This just shows how women have been objectified for the longest time. Take Tamannaah, for example. She looked stunning in 'Aaj Ki Raat', but soon after, people started calling her fat. She herself said, 'I didn't even realise I had gained weight, people just came up and told me.'Sadhwani added that Tamannaah is happy the way she is and doesn't appreciate being labelled as 'milky,' 'fat,' or 'slim'.'This objectification has long been part of the industry. It's show business, where looks often come before talent. Acting is considered only after the appearance. But thankfully, that's starting to change. People are finally beginning to value acting over just how someone looks,' the actor Sadhwani started her journey as a singer who lent her voice to tracks like 'Haryana Roadways', 'Lala Lala Lori', and 'Toot Jayein'. However, it was her role in the hit sitcom 'Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah' that brought her nationwide recognition. For those unaware, Deepti played the character Aradhana Sharma in the Reel

Victoria Beckham backed by 'unlikely ally' after Father's Day snub from Brooklyn
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Fashion mogul Victoria Beckham has garnered support from an unexpected quarter following her son Brooklyn's apparent Father's Day oversight – none other than Yolanda Hadid, a fellow mother with her own past involving Nicola Peltz. Yolanda, the mother to renowned models Gigi and Bella, made a conspicuous show of solidarity with Victoria amid the buzz surrounding her husband David's recent knighthood. It's known that Yolanda experienced tension with Nicola during the time she dated her son Anwar for a year and a half. READ MORE - Ryanair passenger kicked off flight after 'trying to save money with common hack' READ MORE - Woman says never ignore four common symptoms as she's diagnosed with stage 4 cancer The 61 year old reportedly took issue with the age gap between Nicola, then 22, and Anwar, who was 18 at the time. Following their breakup, Nicola went on to unfollow the entire Hadid clan on social media. Despite not being close confidantes, Yolanda engaged with Victoria's celebratory post about David's knighthood last week, leaving a heart emoji in response, reports the Mirror. Victoria, 51, had shared a heartfelt message online, proclaiming David had "always been my knight in shining now it's official." Previously, Gigi and Bella graced the runway for Victoria's Paris Fashion Week show in 2022, later seen backstage sharing a moment with Victoria's daughter Harper. Nicola's fleeting relationship with Anwar occurred as she was establishing herself in the acting world. In one interview, she spoke fondly of Anwar: 'Honestly, he is an angel. "He's such an amazing person. He comes from such an amazing family. "Gigi and Bella are so, so sweet. I just love his family so much. "They're feminine, strong girls. To have that around is amazing." Insiders close to Nicola have maintained that there's no animosity between her and the Hadids, suggesting that her decision to unfollow them on social media is a typical move after a break up. The Hadids have yet to respond to requests for comments about their relationship with Peltz. The Beckhams reportedly had a falling out with Brooklyn's wife after she and Brooklyn failed to attend David's 50th birthday bash earlier this year. Adding fuel to the fire, Brooklyn was noticeably silent on Father's Day last week. Sources close to Nicola assert that a reconciliation seems unlikely at present due to the "highly charged atmosphere.". Nicola's friends have previously claimed that as "an outsider coming into the Beckham family, she has helped Brooklyn see the emotional abuse and toxic behaviour within".
