Zarine Khan, best known for her portrayal of Princess Yashodhara in the Salman Khan starrer Veer was last seen in Hate Story 3. The actress, who has lost oodles of weight in the past couple of years recently shared a touching message on social media. She shared a couple of old pictures and spoke about how she never felt any lesser even when she was on the 'healthy' side. Here is what she posted, do check it out!

"When I look at these pictures I feel proud of myself today not that I felt any lesser about myself back then. In spite of being so big I never let people's comments or ideas about me bother me because it is my life and my body and only I have the right to decide what I am gonna do with it.

Then one day I decided let me try how it feels to be a little lighter and hence started my weight loss journey. It wasn't easy at all but every time I looked at the progress in the mirror i got the push to do more. I had lots more energy than before and I was loving every bit of this new person I was transforming into.

When I became a part of this industry, I had lost all my weight. In fact I was asked to put on weight for my first film to look the character. Unfortunately I was criticized to no end for my weight but again I never let that get to me. How could I?
Those people had not seen me like the way I am in these pics here. And for me everything was just an achievement to reach from where I was to where I am.

I continued on my fitness journey irrespective because fitness for me is a way of life now. Along with the weight loss came a lot of stretch marks but instead of feeling ashamed of it and trying to hide it, I believe in flaunting it. It makes me feel like a tigress with her stripes.

I have come a long way in this journey of fitness and I still have a long way to go. But it is always been only for myself and not because of people shaming me.
