Shivangi Joshi opens up on being judged for having acne:
The Begusarai actress further revealed the point in her life when it got too much for her to bear. She used to be compared with the other actresses who do not have pimples. This led to Shivangi, questioning herself for getting acne. "Mei Bombay ke saare doctors ke paas chali gayi thi kyuki logo ko nai pata mei kya kya kar rahi thi unhe theek hone ke liye. I tried everything. I tried a lot of painful treatments, medications, ghar ke nuske, everything. But woh meri age thi, jab aa rahe thei aur woh nai theek hore thei. Kabhi kabhi jab mei subah uthti thi na and mujhe hota tha oh aaj mujhe 2 pimple aa gaye ab kya karu?"
"(I went to all the doctors in Mumbai because people didn't know what I was doing to try to get better. I tried everything—painful treatments, medications, home remedies, everything. But it was my age; they kept coming and wouldn't go away. Sometimes, when I woke up in the morning and saw that I had two new pimples, I would think, "Oh no, what do I do now?)"
Shivangi Joshi's journey with pimples and self-love:
The Balika Vadhu 2 actress, further said that she used to think a lot because many times, when she would go in front of the screen and check her shot on the monitor, all she could see were her pimples. She couldn't see her face. "Sir bolte thei apna khana theek kro, phir sab apna apna suggestion dene lagte thei. Aapko oata hai hum kya kya kar rahe hai. Woh phase mere life mei bahut tha infsct soial media pe kafi log likhne lag gaye thei. People used to compare, jab compare karte hai na bura lagta hai."
"(Sir used to say that she should improve her diet, and then everyone started giving their own suggestions. She felt that no one really knew what she was going through. That phase was very challenging for her, and even on social media, many people began to comment. People would compare her to others, and it hurt when those comparisons were made.)"
Shivangi ended by saying that she accepted her skin the way it was and started loving herself. More power to you, Shivangi.
