Actor Keerthy Suresh<\/a> took to her Instagram account to address body-shaming comments she has faced throughout her career and talks about rumours of her undergoing surgery. She mentioned how when she was \u2018plump\u2019, people wanted her to be thinner, and now that she\u2019s fit, they tell her they liked the \u2018plump kid\u2019 instead. She also admitted to having a mental and physical setback recently.<\/p>\n

Keerthy <\/a>posted a video of her working out at the gym over the years. \u201cHigh time I shared this (smiling emoji),\u201d she wrote, beginning her note by saying that fitness has been her \u2018biggest teacher\u2019. \u201cBack in 2013 when I started as an actor, I was a clueless kid. Like a lot of people, I thought the gym just wasn\u2019t for me. I ignored the basics my body actually needed,\u201d she wrote, adding, \u201cAfter Mahanati in 2018, during a break, I thought, \u201cWhy not try?\u201d<\/p>\n

The actor says that she lost 10 kg in 9 months after that and was proud until people called her \u2018weak\u2019 and claimed that she\u2019d had \u2018surgeries\u2019. \u201cI\u2019ve always kept things natural, even with my face, so hearing that stung a wee bit because all my hard work was put under a knife and ouch!\u201d she wrote. She also stated that apart from the gym, she turned to yoga in 2020, which changed \u2018everything\u2019 for her.<\/p>\n

Calls out body-shaming comments<\/p>\n

Then, Keerthy wrote that at a point where she\u2019s proud of herself for being fit, she has people giving unsolicited advice that they liked how she looked before. \u201cI am proud of seeing myself here today and yet I have people coming to me and giving me opinions on how they liked me better when I was a plumpy kid. When you are plumpy they want you to be fit and when you are thin they just want you plumpy. I wonder how the world works sometimes,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

The actor also admitted that she recently faced a setback without revealing much. \u201cI\u2019ve had a physical and mental setback recently. I have been MIA for the last few months, but this journey reminds me: if at some point I have to break, pause, or stop, I will; but I\u2019ll never give up! Bring it on,\u201d she wrote.<\/p>\n

Apart from fans, her friends and celebrities such as Kalyani Priyadarshan<\/a>, Manjima Mohan, Pragya Jaiswal, Athulyaa Ravi, and several others praised her for speaking up. Last seen in Uppu Kappurambu in Telugu and Revolver Rita in Tamil, Keerthy will soon star in Kannivedi and Sathyavan Savithiri in Tamil, Rowdy Janardhana<\/a> in Telugu, Thottam in Malayalam and Raftaar in Hindi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor Keerthy Suresh took to her Instagram account to address body-shaming comments she has faced throughout her career…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":433412,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[156,46889,221938,221939,221940,409,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-433411","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-keerthy-suresh","tag-keerthy-suresh-body-shaming","tag-keerthy-suresh-fitness","tag-keerthy-suresh-movies","tag-movies","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433411","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=433411"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/433411\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/433412"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=433411"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=433411"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=433411"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
