Actress Vidya Balan has always been a strong personality, an actress who never said yes to any adjustments in the film industry. Actress Vidya Balan has been a proud advocate of body positivity and it appears she’s taken yet another admirable stand against unrealistic beauty standards. She has always taken a strong stand against unrealistic beauty standards by issuing rules on how her pictures should be used. She has reportedly asked photographers and magazines to refrain from re-touching her pictures as she doesn’t want to appear slimmer than she is.

Ace photographer Dabboo Ratnani spoke of her wishes recently, adding that she’s quite comfortable in her own skin and how she looks and she is not at all interested in photoshop to look slimmer.

Dabbo says, “I try to achieve the best lighting on the set itself, thus relying as little as possible on the post-treatment of pictures. Doing so is all the more important with Vidya because she doesn’t like her images to be re-touched. She is comfortable with her own skin, and doesn’t want to be made slimmer for pictures.”

According to reports, Dabbo says, “During magazine shoots, she tells the editorial team that the photos should only be color-corrected and shared, without any re-touching. Say, if the flooring or the leaves in the background need color correction, we do that. We don’t re-touch her image,” Dabboo concludes.

Vidya has often spoken about being body-shamed. Earlier this year, during the promotions of her film Sherni, Vidya recalled her body weight had become a ‘national issue.’ We also hope that Bollywood and the society at large shun unrealistic beauty standards so people can feel more comfortable in their own skin, just like this fearless actress!
