Former Miss World Priyanka Chopra, who after conquering the world of Indian Cinema went on to chase the world of Hollywood, recently appeared on the chat show The View as a co-host. During the show, the ladies touched upon various topics including body shaming, that’s when Priyanka Chopra revealed that she had been at the receiving end of body shaming.

Priyanka Chopra won the Miss World title in the year 2000 and is now in the US shooting for the US TV series Quantico. The beauty queen made the shocking revelation about facing body shaming. Priyanka said, "Before I became an actor, I met a producer about the possibility of acting. I was a beauty pageant winner at that time, Miss World. And he said that everything was wrong about me. He said my nose was not proportionate, the shape of my body was not proportionate..."

“The View” host Joy Behar interrupted Priyanka and asked "Is that your original nose?", to which Priyanka replied, "Yes, this is my original nose.." Priyanka continued, "There is such a false perception about what women should look like and what our bodies should look like. Especially when you are in the business, you put on a couple of pounds and people are like..body shaming you. It happens. Christmas happens to all of us. I have Holi, I have Diwali, and my body fluctuates and I am fine with it."

Body shaming women is actually an issue to be concerned about. We recently saw Miss Canada Siera Bearchell face criticism over her body during the Miss Universe 2016 pageant. But, the way the Canadian beauty handled it all was commendable. In fact Siera recently slammed those who body shamed Lady Gaga, who performed wearing a crop top and shorts during the Super Bowl LI halftime show.
