On Thursday, actress Neha Dhupia took to her social media handle to share a post on accepting one's own body and ignoring body-shaming. 

The actress shared old pictures of herself and wrote, "Be kind to yourself and your body, it’s the only one you’ve got! It took me a while to understand this and be proud and comfortable in my own skin. If you’re reading this, DON’T waste as much time as I did! Your weighing scale doesn’t define you, you do! ..#beenthruthicknthin.”

Meanwhile, she took to Instagram and shared a video from her reality show Roadies and wrote, “Remember that photo of yourself from 5 years ago that makes you feel bad about your current weight? Well that same person 5 years ago had something else making her feel bad about her weight. We’re programmed to feel unworthy, to feel not good enough! … #beenthruthicknthin.”
