Vijay Sethupathi Reveals Facing Body-Shaming in Bollywood and South Industries

Vijay Sethupathi is undoubtedly one of the best actors in India right now, and he has proved it with his acting skills over the course of a decade. The actor, who is in the good phase of his career, has opened up about his horrible experience with body-shaming taunts.

I have faced a lot of body-shaming for the way I look. It happened there (South) also. It happened, but the good thing is that people accept you the way you are. Today, wherever I go, I am accepted; it is a blessing. Thanks to my audience, I am happy being myself. I didn’t expect this," he said during an interview with the Indian Express.

Directed by Sriram Raghavan, Merry Christmas stars Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi in the lead roles, along with Sanjay Kapoor, Vinay Pathak, Ashwini Kalsekar, and Radhika Apte. The film is set to hit cinemas this Friday, on 12th January 2024.
