Divyanka Tripathi opens up about body shaming 

The actress opened up about body shaming and how she dealt with it. She said, “This keeps happening to me. Body shaming is constant in my life because I have a certain body type. A typical Indian body type. I have a pear-shaped body, my lower half is bigger than the upper half. Even if I'm at my slimmest best, my lower half will look big, and then people will think 'Oh, she's fat from here'. So I face this in every phase."

The actress recalled a time when she was very thin and was told, “You don't look good now, you have become very thin. Only chubby cheeks used to suit you.” 

Divyanka shared her workout routine 

With this, the actress explained that she wants to lead a healthy and fit life. “I work out daily. I miss working out once or twice a week but I do it for my happiness. I do it for my happiness. It gives me a great adrenaline and happy hormones rush. It keeps my body agile, which is important for my work,” she said. 

She further shared that she blocks people who body shame her. “Honestly, I don't think twice. Who have wrong intent I block them. People who say it on my face, I tell them 'Look at me how fit I am, you don't worry about other things.' So now I back answer politely.” she said.
