Palak Tiwari, the daughter of actor Shweta Tiwari, rose to fame after appearing in the song video ‘Bijlee Bijlee’ alongside Harrdy Sandhu. The stunning actress frequently posts photos and videos on social media. She is well-liked by a large number of people. The actress recently spoke out about the entertainment industry’s beauty double standards and obsession with achieving a certain body type.
Palak was asked about the importance of grooming herself in an interview with Bollywood Hungama. Palak noted that grooming helps with self-confidence, especially in the Hindi entertainment world, where you have to always be the greatest version of yourself.
Palak also spoke about the double standards of beauty, “People speak so much about how actors need to be presentable, but at the same time, there’s so much contradictory conversation that actors, especially budding actors and actresses are setting an almost unattainable standard of beauty. But I have been noticing, it’s not a standard set by us, but set for us by the audience.”
Elaborating on her statement, Palak continued, “If you have these surgeries and all that, they have things to say about it, but if you don’t, then you are unadorned, and not ready. So you can never really truly please an audience with how you groom yourself, or not because they will always portray their insecurities to you. But grooming in this industry, I think largely means that you feel your best self. No matter how low you are feeling, you have to always appear exuberant about things, and be vivacious, and I think grooming yourself kind of helps you with that. But I think that’s all there’s to it.”
Palak also spoke out on how a certain body type is encouraged in today’s culture, claiming that there is no such thing as an ideal body type. She explained that she lives in India, where an ideal body type is a size medium, but that size mediums are fat-shamed. They have an issue when someone is very slim because ‘oh my god, you are such a ball of bones,’ but if you are voluptuous, if you have some heft to yourself (they say), “What is wrong with her?” she said.
