Shehnaz Treasury Was Called 'Too Fat', Body-Shamed On Ishq Vishk Set: 'I Was On Some Crazy Diet'
Last Updated: Shehnaz Treasury recalled facing body-shaming while shooting for the 2003 film Ishq Vishk, starring Shahid Kapoor. She shared that she was kept on a crazy diet to look thin. Shehnaz Treasury debuted in Bollywood with the 2003 film Ishq Vishk, co-starring Shahid Kapoor and Amrita Rao. She recently shared how the director of Ishq Vishk criticized her body and enforced a strict diet to make her appear thinner for the film. The actress-turned-influencer opened up about facing body shaming on the film set, recalling that she was told she was 'too fat', and needed to diet. In a conversation with ETimes, Shehnaz recounted the stress of portraying Alisha in Ishq Vishk, the prettiest girl in college. 'In college, there was all that pressure too — you know, like Neeli neeli aankhon wali kaun hai wo — and then the director was like, 'You've got to wear green lenses, you have to be perfect, you have to look great. Oh, you don't look good in some angles; actresses are supposed to look good in all angles,' as if it was my fault," she said. She mentioned being told she was too fat, and needed to diet. She reflected on the absurdity and sadness of the situation, expressing disbelief over the pressures she endured. 'I was told, 'Oh, you're too fat, your belly is sticking out, you need to diet.' The other girl in the movie was so thin — they were padding her, putting pads on her — while they were trying to shrink me. So I was on some crazy diet. They wouldn't let me eat. It was so ridiculous. And it was so sad. Looking back, I can't believe we had to go through those things. In fact, the world we live in today is much nicer to actors and more accepting of all shapes and sizes," she concluded. About Ishq Vishk Ken Ghosh directed the teen romance film Ishq Vishk, which marked the Bollywood debut of Shahid Kapoor. The film follows childhood friends Rajiv Mathur (Shahid Kapoor) and Payal Mehra (Amrita Rao). As they grow up together, Payal falls in love with Rajiv, but he remains oblivious to her feelings. Shehnaz portrayed the role of Alisha Sahay. The movie became a sleeper hit and catapulted Shahid to fame. About Shehnaz Treasury Shehnaz initially gained fame as an MTV VJ before moving to acting with Ishq Vishk. She later appeared in films like Hum Tum, Luv Ka The End, Umar, Delhi Belly, and Main Aur Mr. Riight. Her latest role was in the 2021 American comedy film Americanish. Although she has stepped back from the big screen, she engages her 1.4 million Instagram followers with travel, lifestyle, and health content.
