New Delhi: A picture of Bollywood actress Zareen Khan is going viral in which she is overweight. The picture has collage of three images which features Zareen Khan in her Bollywood avatar and in the other two she can be seen flabby.


In ABP news investigation this viral picture turned out to be true. Not even this the Bollywood actress herself shared these pictures on her social media pages.

Sharing her old pictures on Twitter and Instagram Zareen wrote, “Came across these pics of mine from school and college days. (White one was in std 9th & pink one was right after my std 12th exams).

When I look at these pics I feel proud of myself today not that I felt any lesser about myself back then. In spite of being so big I never let ppl's comments or ideas about me bother me. Because it's my life and my body and only I hav the right to decide what I'm gonna do with it. Then one day I decided let me try how it feels to b a little lighter and hence started my weight loss journey. It wasn't easy at all but every time I looked at the progress in the mirror I got the push to do more. I had lots more energy than before and I was loving every bit of this new person I was transforming into.

When I became a part of this industry, I had lost all my weight ... In fact I was asked to put on weight Fr my first film to look the character. Unfortunately I was criticized to no end for my weight but again I never let that get to me. How could I ? Those people had not seen me like the way I am in these pics here. And Fr me everything was just an achievement to reach from where I was to where I am.

I continued on my fitness journey irrespective because fitness for me is a way of life now. Along with the weight loss came a lot of stretch marks but instead of feeling ashamed of it and trying to hide it , I believe in flaunting it . It makes me feel like a tigress with her stripes.

I have come a long way in this journey of fitness and I still have a long way to go... But it's always been only for myself and not because of people shaming me !”

Zareen Khan started her acting career in 2010 with the film 'Veer', starring Salman Khan
