Avika Gor speaks up about her weight loss journey. The actress opens up about how she started feeling much more confident once she lost oodles of weight.
Avika Gor, known for her show 바카라Sasural Simar Ka바카라, started off as a child actor and underwent quite a transformation on screen. The actress says that although things were working in her favour, she wasn바카라t happy with how she looked onscreen which motivated her to work on herself.
바카라I had people approaching me for work, I had this amazing career going on and everything was fine, but I wasn't happy. I wasn't comfortable in my skin. I would look up to people of my age and think about why I am not like that. Now, when I look back, I see that it was just the extra fat that I needed to get rid of. I felt confident once I started to lose weight. I became emotionally and mentally stronger, I realised that this is where I can reach by being the best version of myself. I was cribbing because I wasn't trying enough,바카라 she says.
However, it was not easy. 바카라There were phases where I did everything but still could not see the numbers going down, it frustrated me because there are times when you lose patience. The only thing that kept me grounded was the thought of giving one year to myself. I tried my best and I am proud that I did not give up. The moment I started to work towards what was bothering me, I realised that I like myself and I am doing this for myself,바카라 she says.
The actress says that her major motivation was also the type of characters that she was being offered. 바카라A lot of ideal beauty standards are changing. Now, it바카라s more real. The projects that I have been approached for are not the typical characters that one sees usually. There are people who asked me to become fitter but it was not about looking like a perfect Bollywood actress. It바카라s just about being the best version of my character. Obviously, if it바카라s an action movie and I am playing a cop, I need to look a certain way. I have seen people accepting different kinds of beauty. Maybe it바카라s during the pandemic, where people started talking that it's okay to be plus-size,바카라 she concludes.
