Guys show their fit bodies all the time: Tanishaa
Actor Tanishaa Mukerji, trolled for a picture of her toned body, says trolls who talk negative on social media are very sad and depressed
Tanishaa Mukerji is showing her changed avatar on her social media profile these days with photos flaunting her fit frame, but one such picture didn’t go down well with some social media users. The actor finds such comments funny. For her, trolls only reflect their “sad, depressed and negative” life.
The daughter of veteran actor Tanuja and sister of Kajol, suggests people to stop taking everything personally.
“I read and listen to all negative comments or trolls on social media. I really find them funny and it makes me realise the mindset of these people. What’s the point of so much negative talk? Why go online onto someone else’s account and slut-shame them or make them feel bad because you didn’t like the picture which has nothing to do with you? I also believe people need to stop taking things personally as everybody is living their own lives and has nothing to do with them,” says Tanishaa.
Defending the picture (inset) in question, she says it was not “topless”.
Tanishaa, who was seen in films such as Sarkar, Sarkar Raj, Sssshhh..., Neal n Nikki, Tango Charlie, Popcorn Khao Mast Ho Jao, says for centuries women have used their bodies to make a point.
“Back then, women from Bollywood set a couple of examples. I remember the time when [actor-filmmaker] Pooja Bhatt had done a photo shoot wherein they had covered her body with paint only, and everyone had applauded her guts to do something like this. If I feel happy that I have reached a certain level of fitness and I want to show that in my picture, why should I be trolled? Guys show their fit bodies all the time,” Tanishaa adds.
On the work front, Tanishaa has her hands full with quite a few projects. “I have done a short film based on a social issue. I’ve also worked on a soon-to-release film Code Name Abdul and I am busy writing. Hopefully one day, I will produce my own film,” says the actor, who hopes to back films, which “will bring out social awareness or that change what society does not see right.”
