Shraddha said it all started in 2014 when she had landed a dream job one year into her law career. She said she was at the peak of obesity. “With this job came good money and a fun lifestyle and I was suddenly spending on things that I previously never spent on - food, clothes, going out, movies, you name it. I was at the peak of my obesity, I only found the motivation to exercise once a month maybe, I ate happily and mindlessly, wore clothes I wanted to despite my jiggly arms and thighs, never considered myself unattractive, never felt lesser than anyone else. I did have bouts of self-doubt but I was too lazy to do anything about it and then soon enough the feeling would subside,” she wrote.
According to the actress, there is no end to looking good in the era of social media. “There is no end to “looking good”. You’ll always wish your belly was flatter, that other girl will always look better in that dress. Social media will always successfully feed your insecurities and you may end up miserable. So, do it for your heart that works overtime, for your knees that will bear your weight until the end, for your body that fights for you and heals itself without you having as much as a clue. For a disease-free life and for a good night’s sleep. Do it for yourself, not for the gram,” she wrote.
