So someone body-shamed you, called you fat, thin or just not fit? Pakistani film and TV actress Hareem Farooq has a message for you, especially if you are a woman.
In an Instagram post, Hareem accepted that she herself went through the same as “for the longest time, she had people telling her that she was “too big or too fat to be in the media and especially in front of the camera.”
“After being blessed to have worked with some amazing people and receiving immense love from my fans, who judged me more on my talent than my ‘body’, I realised what was really important. That is your health, mind, heart and soul. The rest is all secondary. I believe every secondary thing becomes beautiful once you’ve sorted the primary ones,” she said.
“You are beautiful inside out regardless of what the society wants you to be – just like I am! Learn to love and accept yourself. We all have flaws. Learn to embrace them and make them your strength.” wrote Hareem Farooq.
She advised people to do not give importance to people’s labels and be confident for you are a unique and beautiful creation of God.
“Do not let the society label you to their norms. Let your confidence speak for you. So keep your heart in the right place and walk with your head high because you are God’s creation and whatever he creates is simply beautiful!”
