Avika Gor Broke Down Because Didn't Think She Looked Good: Got So Busy Judging Myself, Didn't Leave Scope For Outsiders

Avika Gor has literally grown up as a star soon after she shot to fame as Anandi in the iconic TV drama Balika Vadhu. While one might expect the actress to be comfortable in her own skin after so many years of stardom and a stark transformation right in front of our eyes but the actress’s latest post proves that the best of us have our insecurities.

The young actress made a startling revelation with her post on body positivity and self love revealing how she suffered a break down because she didn’t like what she saw in the mirror some time last year. Well, the actress took charge and decided to bring positive changes to her lifestyle to be more comfortable with herself and take care of her body the was it was meant to be looked after.

“I still remember one night last year, when I looked at myself in the mirror & I broke down. I didn't like what I saw. Big arms, legs, a well earned belly. I had let go too much. If it were due to an illness(Thyroid,PCOD, etc), it would be okay because that would be out of my control. But, it happened because I ate anything & everything, and I didn't workout at all. Our bodies deserve to be treated well, but I didn't respect it,” the actress wrote in a long post on Instagram.

“I disliked the way I looked so much that I couldn't even completely enjoy dancing (which I love) without thinking "how I must look right now". I got so busy judging myself & feeling bad that I didn't leave any scope for outsiders to make me feel bad. Such insecurities run in the head all the time & they make us feel tired & irritated. Hence, I would often snap at my loved ones,” she added.

Taking charge of her own situation Avika decided it was time for a change, “One fine day I decided that it was enough, and that I must evolve. Nothing changed overnight. I just started to focus on the right things... things that I should be proud of(like dancing). I kept trying to eat better & working out, and I had various setbacks. But, it was important that I didn't stop. And my people were constantly there to guide me.”

The actress emphasizes that one must do what is in their control to feel better about themselves like she can’t stop looking at herself in the mirror. “Today, I am comfortable in my own skin. Today, I'm peaceful. And I hope you are too? Let's make self-love cool,” she concluded.
