Sinha got honest with her responses in a conversation with an Indian media portal where she revealed that she is being body-shamed ever since childhood and that it often starts at home.
“This conditioning happens when you are a child. I remember my mother telling me constantly to lose weight,” the actor told the outlet.
She went on to explain, “And when somebody was constantly saying that to you, the rebellious kid in me would always do the opposite.”
“The day my mother stopped telling me that’s when it actually struck me that I need to do something about my weight.”
Sinha also said, “It does start at home and my mom also realised that after watching the film. 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.”
