Tv actress Vahbiz Dorabjee has been in the news a lot. Recently, the actress has separated from husband, Vivian Dsena. A few days ago, Vahbiz posted her bikini pictures on Instagram and netizens trolled her badly for the overweight shape of her body.

Vahbiz yesterday again tried her best to shut down rumors around her divorce and trolls around the shape of her body. The actress has been body-shamed on social media after she posted photos of herself in a bikini.

Though the actress did fight back then, she confessed also that it did affect her a lot personally. She confessed to breaking down sometimes and losing confidence in herself after having fought these trolls on social media

She told a daily, “A few years ago, I gained weight due to a health condition. Sadly, if you are overweight, people tend to put you down; they criticize your sartorial choices because certain clothes are considered suitable only for thin women. When I went for auditions, the makers would tell me that I needed to lose weight.

Whenever I wore swimsuits, I was told I had thunder thighs and so should avoid wearing one! If you are plump, people call you rolu-molu and names like that, which can be demotivating. I have broken down many times and lost my confidence.”

She adds, “I have accepted the fact that everyone can’t have a thin bone structure and I am a well-endowed woman. But not all women will have the strength to fight back. I know it is important to be fit, but sometimes, your metabolism does not respond the way you want it to. I hit the gym daily, but at the end of the day, I will look a certain way and today, I am happy about it.”


The actress also opened up about not wanting to speak about her divorce at all. She said, “Whenever I try to talk about something else, people keep asking about my divorce. Well, there are other interesting things that I am pursuing in my life.

Vivian and I have moved on; he is busy with his show and I am focussing on my career and ambition. When both of us are trying to move ahead, people should not bother us with this one question.”

Vahbiz has been hosting her talk show on the internet. The actress is quite active on social media and is frequently posting photos of herself.
