Rochelle Rao gives it back to all the body shamers
Rochelle Rao takes to her social media to share some motivating thoughts.
Actress and anchor Rochelle Rao is in a happy space. On the personal front, she got engaged to Keith Sequeira earlier this year. And the actor-anchor is going great guns professionally like always. Rochelle, who happens to be a former Miss. India contestant has been uploading some interesting pictures on her social media speaking about body shaming as well as imperfections. It's quite brave of the actress to upload pictures which show her not in the best of shape and for her to speak about it so openly.
Fans have appreciated the fact that Rochelle has been picking up topics such as fat shaming, imperfections, being comfortable with one's own body etc and speaking about them on a public platform! Keith too has supported Rochelle's move as he reposted her post and shared his thoughts on the same. Recently Rochelle had also posted some videos about depression as well which had sparked some interesting conversations amongst fans and the industry alike!
She said, "We live in a day and age when we all want to be perfect! You have put a lot of weight on recently, and a lot of people have commented!... Well, I ask you, is there something wrong with that? We all have phases in our lives and this too is a phase! Why do we have to be perfect all the time? We’ve stopped being comfortable with who we are! And so here I am sharing my imperfections, pictures which show the real me, that is not hiding behind the veil of Photoshop! Are you willing to take off the mask? I’m not perfect and neither is anyone else, so let's share the imperfections! You are beyond your photos!"
"Loving oneself isn't hard when you understand who and what 'yourself' is. It has nothing to do with the shape of your face, the size of your eyes, the length of your hair or the quality of your clothes. It's so beyond all of those things and it's what gives life to everything about you. Your own self is such a treasure."
"Left profile, right profile, let’s hide the areas which show the fat! But who said curves can’t be beautiful? Body shaming has become a common phenomenon in this day and age where it’s ok for anyone to comment on another person’s body! It all stems from insecurities! Rather than hiding, I choose to highlight my imperfections! The parts of me I was taught to hate, I now choose to show off! I choose to announce that yes I’m not perfect! My question to you is are you willing to share your imperfections with the world?"
Its great to see Rochelle use social media to propagate such issues and openly speak about them, making them less taboo and more acceptable in our society!
