Maya Khan on Body-Shaming and Plus-Size Fashion
In her recent appearance on a private TV channel’s talk show, prominent host and renowned actor Maya Khan, best known for her recent performances in blockbuster serials ‘Mayi Ri’ and ‘Kabhi Main Kabhi Tum’, recalled her body-shaming struggles and shared that even designers would refuse to give her clothes, saying they don’t have plus sizes for her.
“People used to bodyshame me and would call me names, like ‘moti (fat)’ and ‘bhains (buffalo)’,” Khan said. “Designers would refuse to give me clothes, saying they don’t have plus sizes, such as XL or XXL, for me.”
The actor confessed, “It used to break me, and I would cry, but now I don’t.”
“I can now better empathise with those who are overweight; earlier, I never understood what they must feel,” she concluded.
