Sonakshi mentioned that she was always called names in school as she used to weigh around 95 kgs. So her class boys would always bully her. She also recalled that even during plays, she would never get the main part because she was always the big kid, so they would make her stand at the side or be the narrator.

Even during college, when she had an opportunity to walk the ramp during her annual fashion show, a thin figured girl told her to handle the lights. On asking, the girl responded that Sonakshi was too big for a ramp show and therefore shouldn't walk the ramp. Sonakshi mentioned that even after she debuted opposite Salman Khan in Dabangg after losing 30 kgs, the film industry, media people and even the audience fat-shamed her and it was definitely hurtful.
