Exclusive - Meri Bhavya life actor Karan Vohra: People often assume that a woman is overweight because she eats too much

Meri Bhavya Life actor Karan Vohra feels that women become victims to body shaming more as compared to men. He mentioned that there are certain medical conditions that can lead to it, but people don't acknowledge them. He said, 'In urban areas things are improving, but in tier-2 and tier-3 cities, topics of body shaming are still considered taboo, and women often bear the burden of this judgment. I really feel that this mindset needs to change, and this show can help create that change. Also, people often assume that a woman is overweight because she eats too much or doesn't care. But that's not true. There are medical conditions like PCOS, PCOD, thyroid, and many others that can cause weight gain.' 'Instead of judging her, society should try to understand what she's going through. Constant criticism can break someone's morale. So I believe men need to be more kind and understanding toward women. Our society needs more awareness and education about these issues, and I hope our show can contribute to that change,' he added. Meri Bhavya Life, which is produced by Sunjoy Waddhwa and Comall Sunjoy Waddhwa under their banner Sphereorigins, revolves around Bhavya, who, despite being very talented, is judged by the society for her weight. Karan feels that the show will definitely start conversation around the topic and will motivate people. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Term plan with 99.17% Claim Settlement Ratio for FY24!

She is highly educated and a gold medalist, and yet she's fighting against the unfair standards of society. Despite being overweight, she doesn't care what others say and continues to move forward with confidence. This message can change people's mindset, especially for those who are overweight or obese. ' 'I completely agree with this message. Yes, times are changing, but we should also remember that we are still in India. The majority of the television audience still holds some old-fashioned or backward thinking. For example, when a girl is overweight, people are quick to criticize. But if a boy is overweight, it's often ignored. That kind of thinking needs to change,' Karan concluded. Karan Vohra on Main Hoon Saath Tere, his bond with child actor Nihan Jain & fatherhood journey
