Zara Noor Abbas gives Befitting Response to Body Shamed Haters

Pakistani actor Zara Noor slammed body shamers with her powerful post on instagram and defended her struggle about being a broad woman.

She explained how it affected her earlier. She posted a picture collage comprising two images from a photo shoot. “Left: photo-shopped (in which she looks very skinny); right: original (she looks her size).”

Starred in the most popular drama serial Khamoshi, Zara Noor Abbas is all set for her big screen debut this year – she is a part of not one but two films in 2019. She will be seen in Wajahat Rauf’s upcoming film Chhalawa, scheduled to release on Eid ul Fitr 2019 while she essays a key role in Asim Raza’s Eid ul Azha release, Parey Hut Love.

She wrote, “A shoot I did some time ago; the people involved sent me this picture and I made a collage of it. For the longest time I have heard people telling me that I am ‘too broad’ or ‘too big’. I was told, ‘sizes 4 and 6 SHOULD be my friends’; I should go through body transforming surgery. A very prestigious brand didn’t want to work with me because I was not ‘petite’.”

Furthermore, she composed ‘actresses and models don’t eat; they have to look desirable. And ONLY skinny is desirable, “then one fine day, while this was taking a huge toll on me, I looked at myself and told myself what I always believed in: being who you are. And who am I?” she added. “I am a curvy woman and I love myself. Take me as who I am or else, don’t bother at all. I will never change myself for what you think I should be.”

Left : Photoshoped Right : Original A shoot i did sometime ago. The people involved sent me this picture and i made a collage of it. For the longest time I have heard people telling me that I am ' too broad ' or ' too big ' I was told: Sizes 4 and 6 SHOULD be my friends! I should go through body transforming surgery. A very prestigious brand didn't want to work with me because I was not ' petite ' This disturbed me a lot on different levels but one level so loathing that I stopped liking myself wearing anything. I began to question if it was all about how I looked and not about who I am at heart or if i am talented or not. If I'd have carbs at dinner, I'd cry. If i'd have some chips to eat, people would tell to get rid of them because actresses and models dont eat. They have to look desirable. And ONLY skinny is desriable. If I had desserts, I'd hate myself later on and create an energy so negative that it effected me mentally. Then one fine day, while this was taking a huge toll on me, I looked at myself and told myself what I always believed in. Being who you are. And who am I? I am a curvy woman. And I love myself. Take me as who I am or else don’t bother at all. I will never change myself for what you think I should be. #ShameonBodyShaming
