Sonakshi Sinha talks about dealing with body shaming.

Talking about the ways she coped with body shaming throughout her years in the industry, Sonakshi said, "It's a vicious circle. I think I became that person. Because while growing up, I didn't have any role model to look up to or somebody who tells me that it's okay to be how you are. I wanted to be somebody who projected a very healthy body image and I have done so in my entire career. Realistic."

Sonakshi further slammed the paparazzi culture and said, "Look at what social media has become. Look at what the pap culture has become. You can't even go to a funeral without being clicked. I found it very bizarre. Beyond a point, you have to start ignoring these things and just live the way you want to live. But it did take a bit to get used to."
