In her initial days, Bigg Boss 15 winner Tejasswi Prakash was shamed for being too thin and underweight. Talking to ETimes TV, she said, "In life, when you become an actor and have money, you get tempted to work on your body. Many times you get suggestions that do this to your body or do that. Do external surgeries or corrections to look perfect. To be honest, I feel that is an easy way out. Not like I am judging those who do it but I feel it is an easy way out. I've always been a woman who has been extremely proud of how my body is or the way I was made by god." (Photo: Instagram)

Chhavi Mittal, who is undergoing treatment for breast cancer, has also been a victim of thin-shaming. The actress in one of her videos was called 'skinny' and told that her hands look like that of a 'skeleton'. Chhavi took none of it and rather posted the comment on her timeline and asked women to stop body shaming other women. She wrote, "My hands do a lot for my kids and my community. They may look their age (which is 40) or may look more. But one thing they always do is make me look and feel amazing. Also, calling someone 'skinny' is as disrespectful as calling them fat."

The actress made many wonder how she could lose it that fast. Later, she shared all that she did during and after her pregnancy to lose the weight. There was a certain section which slammed her for being too thin. In fact, recently Smriti made a reel with her sister where they shared all the common phrases used for skinny people.

However, the fit of the denim caught the attention of netizens and they began to shame Sonarika for being way too thin. When one user wrote, "Tum sukh ke mar jaao," Sonarika replied angrily, "Tum toh itne phoole hue ho phat kar nahi mare abhi tak?" Another commented, "Didi pant bahut loose h." Sonarika wrote back, "Bilkul aapke dimaag ke pechon ki tarah." (Photo: Instagram)

Aneri Vajani is no stranger to being called too thin. In a picture that she had posted on International Yoga Day a few years ago, Aneri posed in a red bra and yellow underwear. However, all people noticed was her weight. "Kitna gandha body hai," commented one user while another added, "I understand I am skinny too but this is extreme babe! Get some supplements." This made Aneri rebuke the trolls. She wrote, "Honestly, what's wrong with you people? If you are fat and post a picture the world has a proble. If you are thin and post a picture, the world still has a problem. Guys, if you have so much of issue, ignore the picture. The picture is for me. I posted it on my account. So take a chill pill bhagwan ne shakal toh achi di hai shayad toh baatein bhi achi kar liya karo! Koi nahi bhagwan sab theek kar dega! Bas apni soch toh khud hi theek karne padegi." (Photo: Instagram)
