Actress Sonakshi Sinha opens up about how she was body-shamed growing up, and how it impacted her relationship with food, and her mental health in the long run.

While promoting her upcoming film, Double XL, the Lootera Actress told news outlet Firstpost that her mother would constantly tell her to lose weight.

The 35-year-old Bollywood star went on to add that this is how children are conditioned to think that fat is bad, and a cycle of trauma is created.

"I don’t blame all the mothers who want their daughters to lose weight because they probably went through the same thing when they were younger and maybe their parents were telling them as well."
