Sonali Bendre reflects on the ‘90s beauty standard

In a recent conversation with Bollywood Bubble, while shedding light on the beauty standards in the industry, Sonali Bendre compared it with the ‘90s and revealed that being skinny was not the case then. She stated how being skinny was definitely not the beauty standard and revealed how she was told once that she was not just a woman enough if she wasn't voluptuous. 

“Being skinny was definitely not the standard of beauty, so voluptuousness was the standard of beauty, and I was told you were just not a woman enough if you were not voluptuous, you know which it shouldn’t be. I do agree body shaming should not have any part in our society and especially little girls and the kind of ideas they are growing with and the crazy dieting people are doing. People are forgetting that it is not holistic.”

Furthermore, she even recalled the time she was recovering from cancer and revealed how scared she was to shoot with her scar. For the unversed, Sonali Bendre had undergone cancer treatment in 2018 at a hospital in New York City. She returned to India after a five-month treatment in December of the same year.
