While many wish to look like Bollywood diva Priyanka Chopra, the actress recently revealed that she has cried a number of times after being body shamed. Confessing that she arrived at a recent event ‘feeling crappy,’ the Citadel star shared that an unnamed person had body shamed her, telling her that she ‘wasn’t sample sized’ which led her to tearing up in front of her husband and team.
Priyanka Chopra on being body shamed
Opening up on still being body shamed after decades in the entertainment industry at the South by Southwest Film Festival (SXSW 2023) in Los Angeles, the B-town diva confessed that she recently cried to her husband after being criticized for her body. “I’ve been told many things that are difficult to hear. I arrive feeling crappy because somebody told me yesterday I wasn’t ‘sample sized.’ I was hurt and I discussed it with my family and I cried to my husband and my team and I felt really bad about the fact I’m not sample-sized and that that’s a problem, apparently.”
After sharing her experiences, the actress was quick to ask how many people from the audience were sample sized. “Sample-sized is a size 2. Who’s a size 2? I don’t see a lot of hands,” Priyanka said as she looked at the audience.
