Mandy Takhar shuts down haters, declares ‘I was looking like a bomb’ even when trolled

Mandy Takhar is known for her hit Punjabi work in films like Saak, Band Vaaje, and Yes, I Am Student among others. Her fans were missing her on the big screen but the actress is back with a big line-up this year. Her July release ‘Haaye Ni Meri Motto‘ is already making the headlines because of the attractive star cast and the incredible work that Mandy has done for the film. She gained 45 KGs to bring life to her role on the silver screen.

 

 

Often when actors gain weight they are questioned for their body size. Mandy also went through aggressive trolling but the actress kept her cool and surprised everyone with her positive attitude. She reminisced about the initial days of the weight gain and said,

“I have always considered being on the ‘healthier’ side as an actress compared to the ‘normal acceptable weight’ that is expected by an actress. I was trolled even when I felt I was looking bomb (she laughed), I had gone to the 1st Filmfare awards Punjabi wearing this stunning silver dress and I felt I looked curvy and well-figured and walked extremely confidently into the event”.

She further expressed her surprise and shared what happened next,

“The Journalist later wrote “Mandy looked fat in her silver dress” and honestly I just rolled my eyes and laughed as I was feeling my best that night. To be totally honest I am comfortable with the way I look slim or Moti (Fat). In my opinion beauty and weight have nothing to do with each other. Of course, having a fit body is a bonus but I know slim people with bad eating habits and worse health than fat people. So best we all stop with the judgments of appearance and look beyond that in person and if we want to work on our appearance then it should be about getting healthier, and fitter, having more muscle mass, healthy organs, good stamina, and absolutely no need to starve yourself and mess up your insides to look fit on the outside”.

Mandy takes things at bay and keeps her calm. She continued to keep her head up and said,

“I get a lot of comments on my posts on Instagram where I read the word ‘motti’ so trolling is almost a daily event. I couldn’t care less. I continue posting what I like regardless.” She concluded.
