Mumbai, July 29 (NationPress) ‘Bigg Boss’ star Arti Singh has bravely shared her experiences of facing body shaming during her school years.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, the actress expressed how a lack of confidence and negative remarks from peers impacted her significantly. However, as time passed, she learned to embrace self-acceptance. On Tuesday, Arti shared a collection of throwback images accompanied by a reflective note detailing her journey, highlighting that she remained largely unnoticed until her appearance on Bigg Boss. Singh noted that while people recognized her talent, opportunities still eluded her, even post-‘Bigg Boss.’

In her post, Arti stated, “Bachpan se hi confidence ki kami thi. Apne AAP ko kam Samajhti thi . School mein sab Moti Moti bulate the. Sab ladkiyan Patali Dubli tab love yourself wala zamana nahi tha .. duniyan ki nazron se khud ko dekhte the. English Tutti phooti .. pata hi nahi life mein hona kya hai . Phir apne AAP Bhagwan ne ungli pakdi aur Yahan aayi . Worked hard . Did not get recognition till big boss.” ("I lacked confidence since childhood. I used to think less of myself. In school, everyone called me fat. All the girls were slim, and back then, it wasn’t the era of ‘love yourself.’ I viewed myself through the world’s lens. My English was broken... I had no clue about my future. Then, God guided me here. I worked hard but didn’t gain recognition until Bigg Boss.")

“People said kaam acha karti hai kaam mila nahi even after big boss. and aaj bhi kabhi kabhi sochti hun kami kya hai. Kismat ya talent . But I never gave up na tab na ab. This is just to tell it’s not making reels and looking pretty is everything . We all go thru battle which no one knows. Just be kind and still be grateful for what we have. And I’m very grateful this write up is just a feeling which I’m feeling.” (sic)

The ‘Maayka’ actress wrapped up her post by saying, “And I’m happy and proud of myself wherever I’m; award and reward actually is when god gives you that and appreciates you. I truly believe guruji is very kind to me and I’m loved by god. God’s child.”
