Veteran actress Madhuri Dixit recently opened up about the body shaming she faced during the early stages of her career.
In a candid interview, she revealed that people frequently commented on her nose and weight, suggesting she fix her appearance.
These unsolicited remarks were common before she achieved stardom with the hit film Tezaab.
Dixit shared that her mother was her biggest support, assuring her that once she found success, people would love the very traits they criticized. Her mother’s words proved true, as the criticism stopped after she became an overnight sensation.
Today, she advises young actresses to embrace their uniqueness rather than trying to fit into a mold.
The actress emphasized that looking different is a strength, not a flaw. Most recently seen in the web series Mrs. Deshpande, Madhuri expressed gratitude for directors who still offer her challenging and diverse roles. Her journey serves as an inspiration for self-acceptance in the entertainment industry.
