Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor’s sister and founder of Fankind, Anshula Kapoor attracts a lot of attention on her social media. Previously, she stunned many with her weight loss journey. And now, she makes sure to keep her fans inspired by her life through various relatable posts on her Instagram handle.

Recently, Anshula, who is also an entrepreneur took to her IG handle to share a video where she talked about being diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) at the age of 14. She shared the struggles she went through as a teenager while battling the disorder. Anshula said that she was just in 10th class when she started waxing her moustache and her periods were very irregular and excruciatingly painful.

In the caption of the reel, Boney Kapoor’s daughter penned, “I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) at the age of 14. Now, as an adult, I know how common it is. But at the time, it was never spoken about. I felt like I was the only one dealing with myriads of PCOS symptoms. Facial hair, insulin resistance, weight gain, heavy, painful periods, and so much more.”

“So, let’s talk about it. If you’ve also been diagnosed with PCOS, tell me, how do you manage your symptoms? Let’s share tips that have worked for us so that we can help others know that they aren’t alone in this,” she concluded.

Soon after, Anshula’s comments section got flooded with some lovely praises. A user penned, “Happy to see a celebrity finally discuss it openly and share their daily struggle with the disorder.” “Excellent video & thanks for educating people about PCOS,” wrote another. Before Anshula Kapoor, celebs like Sara Ali Khan, Sonam Kapoor and Shruti Haasan have also spoken about struggling with PCOS at an early age.
