Personal Agenda: Actor Zareen Khan.
How did body shaming affect your personality?
(Laughs) I think I should be the brand ambassador for body shaming. I was body shamed since the time I was a teenager until now. But I’ve always been a strong-willed person and have never let the opinion of these body shamers make me feel any less of myself. If someone is judging you on the basis of your weight or looks rather than the person you are, then they need to feel ashamed, not you.
What advice would you give to girls looking to lose weight?
First of all, lose weight not to impress anyone but yourself. Losing weight is not about starving yourself. It means getting fit and strong by exercising regularly, eating right and getting enough sleep. There are no shortcuts.
Your biggest regret after becoming an actress?
I don’t believe in regrets. For me, everything is a learning experience.
The best way to handle trolls is…
I feel amused that I hold such an important place in the lives of these trollers that they have all the time in this busy world to troll me.
What are you most active on – Facebook, Twitter or Instagram?
I would have to say Instagram.
A classic movie that you would have loved to be a part of.
I would’ve loved to play AnarkaIi in Mughal-e-Azam (1960).

Fit Check? Look Behind You
In gyms, someone is always filming. We are all in the frame without meaning to be. Is privacy at odds with fitness goals? Is consent even possible with all those mirrors?
