Recalling her old days in college, where she faced bullies who fat-shamed her, the actress said: “In first year of my Law school I was bullied. I was fat-shamed by the girls in my hostel and batchmates. It was humiliating as a teenager. I was naïve and it played with my mind. I thought I am not pretty enough because I am fat. It built up a lot of complexes in me.”
Nimrit also how she faced criticism in her own family too, “I have a lovely family but I also know of instances that when you are born in Punjabi family, I was made to believe that you are supposed to be fair. That’s how most Punjabi girls are. And I was dusky. I remember in a family full of fair female cousins, I was compared to them – the duskier girl in the lot,” said the actress.
However the actress is happy breaking the barriers, calling beauty subjective she says, “no matter how you look you will always be attractive in someone’s eyes. What matters is what you feel from within and if you have the courage to pursue what you dream.”
