New Delhi: TV actress Anjali Anand said plus size people are still not accepted by the entertainment and glamour industry.

... At times like these, when I get to do stuff like this, I feel so lucky to be different. If me being different can inspire so many of yu, then it's all worth it. My goal is simple - I want to be the best version of myself and achieve everything I want by being who I AM. I love the way I are and so should yu! Don't let anyone ever dull your sparkle. We gotta shine bright in this world full of similar looking dimwits who think they're better than us when the truth is that we're all different and we're all here to achieve something great! Let's encourage each other and not put anyone down, ever. If yu have something negative to say to a person, DONT SAY IT. They don't need it. They know who and what they are and are capable of taking care of themselves. Do not be my dietician/gym trainer/adviser etc. Be my friend because that's all I need. WE ARE HERE & WE ARE HERE TO STAY. My ultimate dream is to see a girl like me on the cover of every magazine, walking for every designer like any other model, be a heroine in a big banner movie, be on every poster, every advertisement and not only the ones for larger people, but to be treated like a serious model/actor. I hope one day this country and its people realise that EVERYONE is beautiful in their own way and need to be accepted as they are. Let's all pledge today to be happy, confident and comfortable in our own skin because if we don't love ourselves, why would anyone else? #Love #LoveYourself #LoveIsTheAnswer #allplussize #allprimerocollectionbywendellrodricks #LakmeFashionWeek #lakmefashionweek2017 #lakmefashionweek17 #BodyPositive #BigAndBeautiful #ImSaxyAndIKnowIt #EkHaiAnarYaahanKitneBimaarYaha #MeriPantBhiSaxy #OhShitBollywoodKaiseAagayaBeechMein #OkBye

Anjali, who walked the ramp for the all Primero collection by Wendell Rodricks at the Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2017, said initially in her career, she faced a lot of difficulty to find work. "It is a sad thing that we don't have plus size models in India. Plus size people don't get work in modelling or acting as much as normal people do. Finding work in glamour industry is tough.

... since many of yu asked for it.. (and I JUST remembered 🙈) here is a full, clear picture of Deepika's wedding outfit. I think it's pretty different and pretty cool, nah? I hope yu guys liked how we styled it. Deepika is going to keep being different, because she is. A proper picture of the post marriage look coming soon.! ♥️, Anj! #DhhaiKiloPrem A post shared by Anjali Dinesh Anand (@anjalidineshanand) on Jul 20, 2017 at 10:28am PDT

"When I started modelling as a plus size, I always thought I will not get the job in this country. People saw me on the posters and were shocked. It is tough for people to accept a big girl on the poster. I feel we should be happy about what we are. We have to be comfortable in whatever we are wearing," she said.

... I know I'm gonna be alright, everyday because I have two people I trust and love the most.

The actor, however, is happy that the mindset is slowly changing and things have become better for her post her Star Plus TV show "Dhhai Kilo Prem" "People's view is changing. I did modelling and then did a show and now people have started looking at me differently. It motivates me."The designer said he has always designed for voluptuous women as he believes it is unfair to ignore a major section of the society just because they don't fit in the "perfect body" bracket.

"We have plus size concept all over the world but nothing was there for Indian women. We wanted to create something for Indian women. Plus size women feel they are completely out of the purview of the fashion. 60 per cent of the population falls in this category, so we tried to break the myth.
