You look so thin is no compliment, says Vidya Balan

Vidya Balan, an actress who holds the rapport of not just being a splendid actress but also a very ardent learner doesn’t like going with the concept of going fat and thin. In an interview to Bollywoodlife.com, the actress revealed how at one point of time she had stopped having solid diet to lose weight, only to realize it shouldn’t be that way.

“There was a time when I used to be on a liquid diet because I had heard that one can lose weight that way. I started puking and falling ill. My mother saw this and finally hammered some sense into me. People come up to me and talk to me about my weight. In fact, just today, someone at lunch told me ‘You are so thin. On-screen, you don’t look this thin.’ I excused myself, came back to my room and had lunch,” she said.

The actress affirmed and said that looking thin is no compliment and that we must go over these things. “I don’t understand why someone has to tell you, ‘You look thin or fat.’ When people tell me I’ve lost weight, I don’t take it as a compliment. Now, I don’t even respond to it. I think we have started really obsessing over the way we look. I’m not asking anyone to NOT exercise. You should stay fit,” she added. While we totally agree with her, here’s hoping that her revelations make a difference. The actress is prepping up for the promotions of her upcoming film Hamari Adhuri Kahani.
