Double XL heroines Sonakshi Sinha-Huma Qureshi opened up to us exclusively about how they were shamed during the holiday season. It is interesting to note that they will be seen together for the first time in their next film Double XL. The story depicts the lives of two women. One is from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh while the other is from Delhi. They are both on their way to break the perception of a beautiful lady.
During an exclusive interview with Bollywood Life, Sonakshi revealed that she hid and ate sweets because of body shaming during her childhood. Huma on the other hand revealed that she preferred eating sweets during Diwali and did not worry about the body embarrassing part. Indeed! Who cares about calories during festival time? Sonakshi had also previously revealed in an interview that she was being bullied for being overweight. However, she did not allow this to affect her self-esteem. She weighed 95 kg and was also called names by many boys. The actress always knew there was a lot more to her than just her weight, which certainly can’t determine her identity.
