Actor Nithya Menen addressed the issue of body-shaming affects her. Speaking in an interview, she said people who make comments on the issue are always quick to jump to assumptions. “Of course, you get affected for sure. There's no doubt about it. But what happens is that you realise that you will never get criticised by someone who does more than you; you'll always get criticised by someone who does lesser than you,” Menen said.
She added, “Nobody asks why you're putting on weight; they just assume. There are so many questions to it. Are they going through some health related issues? There's so much that they don't even think about.” Menen said she never raised a hue and cry about body-shaming because she got her due, irrespective of how she looks.
“Those are small things. I don’t believe in blowing up any personal problem and protesting. You do it yourself, you overcome these things. I have never spoken or given interviews about these things. But I do something about it. The way people look at me in the industry, with or without weight, it doesn’t matter, I’m given my due. That speaks more for me,” she said.
