International diva Priyanka Chopra appeared on the
talk show The View as a co-host. The ladies touched upon many topics
including body shaming. Priyanka began to narrate one of her bad experiences in
Bollywood telling, "Before I became an actor, I met a producer about the
possibility of acting. I was a beauty pageant winner at that time, Miss World.
And he said that everything was wrong about me. He said my nose was not
proportionate, the shape of my body was not proportionate."
Host Joy Behar interrupted here to ask, "Is that your
original nose?", to which Priyanka answered, "Yes, this is my
original nose." The ladies had a good laugh before Priyanka further
added, "There is such a false perception about what women should look like
and what our bodies should look like. Especially when you are in the business,
you put on a couple of pounds and people are like...body shaming you. It
happens. Christmas happens to all of us. I have Holi, I have Diwali, and
my body fluctuates and I am fine with it."
