New Delhi: Tejasswi Prakash's portrayal of a fictitious character in Ekta Kapoor's program 'Naagin 6' has been capturing the attention and affection of viewers. The actress has been a part of a variety of programs during her career, but she has been in the spotlight since she won the 15th season of Bigg Boss. Tejasswi has a reputation for being vocal and never fails to share her opinions when the situation calls for it.

Tejasswi talked about her school days in a recent interview with iDiva. She said that people made fun of her for being very thin.

Naagin 6 actress spoke to iDiva on being vulnerable and how she copes with being body-shamed. Tejasswi said that her most destructive trait is her insistence that all expressions of love conform to a strict set of rules. She went on to reveal that she always felt self-conscious about her body in school, to the point where she would hear harsh comments. 

She said, “I used to be extremely skinny in school. Like people used to call me a hanger. I was extra skinny. So when we used to play on our school’s playground then people used to tell me ‘Keep a ₹5 coin in your pocket or you’ll fly away.’

The actress also said that she breaks down in tears whenever she feels anger.

When asked how she deals with being vulnerable, Tejasswi said that she calls the people she cares about and communicates her troubles and fears to them, believing that doing so is the first step in resolving them.

In the meanwhile, Tejasswi Prakash's relationship with Karan Kundrra has been the subject of much discussion and speculation. Their fans desire that the couple is married as quickly as possible. At this point, everyone is just waiting for the official announcement.
