Diya Aur Baati Hum actress Deepika Singh recently opened up about being mocked for having put on weight after giving birth to her baby boy. The actress revealded she was attacked by trolls with mean comments like how bad she was looking and also that nobody will ever cast her in a lead role.
On her body-shaming experience, Deepika shared in an interview with a leading daily, "I have been trolled a lot on social media especially for my weight gain. After giving birth to my son Soham I was 73 kgs and I had randomly shared a picture of mine without thinking much and it was my birthday, they started writing nasty stuff about me. They did not even think twice that it was my birthday. They started saying 'you are such a big actress, you should have waited', 'now you won't get any role', 'nobody will take her in a lead role', 'look at her how bad she is looking'."
The Kawach 2 actress also shared she took these mean comments seriously and kept them as her phone's wallpaper which motivated her to hit the gym regularly, "But I took all these negative comments very seriously and that actually helped me to go to the gym regularly. It didn't matter, if I didn't sleep in the night, I regularly went to the gym. I took screenshots of all those comments and kept them as a wallpaper on my phone. Whenever I felt lazy these nasty comments helped me to hit the gym. I did cardio a lot and did cycling. I started enjoying working out and I started watching my diet as well. Ultimately, I proved them (the trolls) wrong," she said.
