 "Actress Shenaz Treasury recalls being body-shamed during Shahid Kapoor's 'Ishq Vishk': 'Was told I am too fat, my belly is sticking out and...'")
‘Ishq Vishk’ fame and former MTV host Shenaz Treasury is now a successful and popular travel blogger and influencer on Instagram. Her recent video of why people are moving to Bali has sparked online debate.
The actress said in the video, “I pay more rent for my one bedroom apartment in Mumbai than my friend pays for her villa in Bali.”
And now in an interview with ETimes, the actress recalled being body-shamed on the sets of her debut film Ishq Vishk. Shenaz said, “In college, there was all that pressure too — you know, like Neeli neeli aankhon wali kaun hai wo — and then the director was like, ‘You’ve got to wear green lenses, you have to be perfect, you have to look great. Oh, you don’t look good in some angles; actresses are supposed to look good in all angles,’ as if it was my fault.”
The actress added, “I was told, ‘Oh, you’re too fat, your belly is sticking out, you need to diet.’ The other girl in the movie was so thin — they were padding her, putting pads on her — while they were trying to shrink me. So I was on some crazy diet. They wouldn’t let me eat. It was so ridiculous. And it was so sad. Looking back, I can’t believe we had to go through those things. In fact, the world we live in today is much nicer to actors and more accepting of all shapes and sizes.”
What netizens said about her viral Bali video
These are the comments that are coming in:
Well, I can get triple times size of Home in my Hometown with half of this cost ! How is it comparable?
Its a wrong compare. There are equally cheaper places in other good places in India.
Bhai we work offline… so whatever the rent or cost of living.. we have ti stay in Mumbai… it’s unfair to compare 2 totally different cities. How about Tokyo, new York etc.
Omg I need to move to Bali - paying so much rent and just waking up to horns and pollution here.
