As we all are aware of the term “body positivity”, we have not learnt how to embrace it in a practical manner. With reference to trends which go viral under the disguise of fitness, maintaining a zero-size figure is what everyone in today’s world craves for. Such commercial standards of beauty have been followed for several years. Everyone strives to have a sharp jawline, slim waist, and toned legs. There are uncountable slimming methods which get marketed daily, certain people even resort to plastic surgery to accomplish their expectations of a “quintessential body”. Celebrities have set sky touching standards of fitness and beauty which are not a piece of cake to be attained by the common man.
The faces of the film fraternity and the modelling world are at times perceived by the people in a wrong manner. Instead of solely watching movies/commercials for entertainment purposes, people start connecting with what is being displayed on the screen and form unrealistic goals regarding body image. Obese people or people who are battling health issues like diabetes, PCOD or thyroid often have an inferiority complex after watching those who have an hourglass figure or a muscular and chiseled physique, this can have a serious impact on their mental health.
