In the world of glitz and glamour, actors are often expected to conform to rigid beauty standards. In a recent interview with ETimes<\/a>, Shehnaz Treasury, who made her Bollywood debut with Ishq Vishk<\/a>, revealed how the director body-shamed her and forced her onto a strict diet to appear thinner for the film.<\/p>\n

\"Shehnaz Shehnaz Treasury reveals she was put on crazy diets to look thin in Ishq Vishk. Shehnaz Treasury on being bodyshamed on Ishq Vishk set<\/p>\n

Shehnaz opened up about how it had always been about her appearance, right from her very first movie, Ishq Vishk. She recalled the pressure of playing Alisha, the best-looking girl in college, and said, \u201cIn college, there was all that pressure too \u2014 you know, like Neeli neeli aankhon wali kaun hai wo \u2014 and then the director was like, \u2018You\u2019ve got to wear green lenses, you have to be perfect, you have to look great. Oh, you don\u2019t look good in some angles; actresses are supposed to look good in all angles,\u2019 as if it was my fault.\u201d<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cI was told, \u2018Oh, you\u2019re too fat, your belly is sticking out, you need to diet.\u2019 The other girl in the movie was so thin \u2014 they were padding her, putting pads on her \u2014 while they were trying to shrink me. So I was on some crazy diet. They wouldn\u2019t let me eat. It was so ridiculous. And it was so sad. Looking back, I can\u2019t believe we had to go through those things. In fact, the world we live in today is much nicer to actors and more accepting of all shapes and sizes.\u201d<\/p>\n
