Tujhse Hai Raabta actress Reem Shakh faced body shaming as casting directors would reject her for being chubby and would tell that she isn't "fit". Speaking about facing these issues, Reem told Etimes TV, "I did have body image issues and I realised it is affecting my work. It was affecting something I live for. Being an actress has been my ultimate and only dream. So, if being chubby was getting in my work, then I was ready to get ready for it. I got many casting directors’ feedback, ‘See you are not looking fit for screen, because on-screen you tend to look 20% more of what you are’. I worked my a** out. It’s been two and half years I haven’t had roti because I started gluten-free diet. Sunday is the only day I would cheat and have pizza or a burger maybe."(Photo: Instagram)

Priyank Sharma has done reality shows like Roadies, and Bigg Boss 11. Most of the reality shows are looked down upon as they believe that there is nothing real about these reality shows. However, Priyank said that one needs to be brave enough to participate in shows like Roadies and Bigg Boss. Speaking in detail about it, the reality TV star told ETimes TV, "I know there are many people who make fun of these shows and look down upon them. I really came across an industry person, who made an inappropriate comment. I really feel people shouldn’t do that. It is a journey of us an individual. It is a journey of me and thousands other. There are so many people who have come up form reality shows. I am 27 right now and have done reality shows two-three years back. It is too early for people to pass any kind of judgements. I have no Godfather. I want to tell all those people that these kind of reality shows give us the platform where we get recognition and then we take our careers forward with our hardwork."

Smriti Khanna delivered a baby girl almost a month ago and soon after her delivery she shared a picture of herself working out and her abs could be seen. The trolls were quick to school her that she shouldn't get back to working out as she has just conceived and her baby needs her attention. Smriti gave it back to those trolls with a strong post where she even showed her middle finger to them. Speaking further with ETimes about it, the Meri Aashiqui Tumse Hi actress said, "I think any mother whether she has put on weight or not, haters will put negative comments on her post. I have friends in the industry like Mahhi Vij and all who put on weight during pregnancy so they got trolled and I did not put on weight that much even then I was trolled. The trolls started getting personal and they told me that I don't care about my baby. They thought I had started working out and dieting. I haven't started with my workouts, of course I go for walk and eat healthy."(Photo: Instagram)

When Paras Chhabra was in a relationship with Akanksha Puri, he had got a tattoo inked on his arm after her name. However post entering Bigg Boss 13, Paras' loyalties changed and it led to a bitter break-up between the two. While Akanksha got her tattoo modified, Paras is yet to do so. The actor is keen on changing it first thing after the lockdown. He told Etimes TV, "Since, we have broken up, there is no point having a tattoo of her name. I had planned to do it immediately after coming out of Bigg Boss, but I bagged a new show Mujhse Shaadi Karoge. Once I came out of it, lockdown was implemented and I couldn't get it removed. Now, this is the first thing I am going to do once the lockdown is lifted. This has been on my mind for a long time." (Photo: Instagram)
