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

Meri Bhavya Life's Kruttika Desai on body shaming; says ‘Women are judged far more than men'
Actress Kruttika Desai , who plays the sharp and manipulative Bua Maa in Meri Bhavya Life , has opened up about the deeply rooted issue of body shaming , particularly its disproportionate impact on women. Produced under the Sphereorigins banner, the show addresses societal biases with bold storytelling and layered characters. Sharing her thoughts, Kruttika stated, 'Women are victims of body shaming far more than men. It's so true, it doesn't even require an answer. Men feel they can look as they want, but a girl has to be slim, fair, beautiful, tall, have long thick hair, have big eyes, be educated, be soft-spoken, be submissive, etc.' Kruttika believes her show holds a mirror to society and aims to challenge these unrealistic standards. 'A change in attitude is bound to follow,' she added, expressing hope that Meri Bhavya Life will trigger meaningful conversations around appearance-based judgment. The actress is pleased with the audience's reception of the show. 'The audience likes the theme; they feel it's different—but also it has been treated in a subtle yet glaring, in-your-face kind of way,' she shared. Speaking about her character, Kruttika said, 'Bua Maa contributes to the story by basically showing the negative responses that the girl (Bhavya) faces. It highlights them and shows how they can be dealt with in a positive way.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like AI guru Andrew Ng recommends: Read These 5 Books And Turn Your Life Around in 2025 Blinkist: Andrew Ng's Reading List Undo When asked what lies ahead, Kruttika teased, 'The coming episodes will show how these challenges are thrown at the girl and how she grows stronger and more confident instead of being cowered down.' With her performance and the show's message, Kruttika Desai hopes to be part of a much-needed shift in how society views women and beauty.
