'Desi Girl' Priyanka Chopra has become a household name in the United States. The actress recently made an appearance on the popular chat show, 'The View'. Making an appearance on the show, the actress spoke about many topics including body shaming. Talking about an experience that she had in Bollywood, the actress 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.."
It was then that host Joy Behar asked if she has undergone any surgical procedure for her nose. He questioned, "Is that your original nose?", to which she replied, "Yes, this is my original nose..." The ladies had a good laugh before 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."
The actress also supported Beyonce, who just got pregnant at the age of 35, and shut down the haters and detractors who believe that woman have to get pregnant by a certain age.
