Anshula Kapoor opens up about not being able to see ‘any kind of beauty’ in herself; Sonam Kapoor reacts

Actor Arjun Kapoor‘s sister Anshula Kapoor took to social media and recalled how she was 'unable to see any kind of beauty in who she is or what she looks like'. Sharing a few pictures of herself, she penned a long note about dealing with body image issues.
She wrote, ‘These images have been sitting in my drafts for weeks, but I don’t know what it is about tonight that’s given me the courage to post it rather than delete the draft. So here goes.. I’ve spent more than half of my life being unable to see any kind of beauty in who I am or what I look like. Whether it was the curls that I called unmanageable & frizzy, or the shoulders that were covered in stretch marks, or the arms that were too big to be bare, the upper lip that was so much thinner than the bottom lip, or the chins that were always doubling and tripling.’ She added, Why is it that even though you learn never to judge a book by it’s cover, you fail to show the same grace to yourself? Always judging what you see outside, without even looking at how brightly the inside shines through? I never understood that I can show myself the grace I am able to show others, that I can and should love who I am regardless of what I look like in a pair of pants or in the mirror. That my hair is beautifully wild with a unique story of its own, my skin has grown and stretched to make sure it can carry me through every phase of life. I never saw the lips that could speak words of love and courage.’ Concluding her post, she questioned why it is always easier to see the negatives instead of the positives. ‘I think I quiet like this side of me that allows myself to celebrate every part of me that may never be “conventional”, but it all comes together to make me uniquely ME,’ read her post.
Anshula’s cousin, actor Sonam Kapoor reacted to her post. Sharing it on her Instagram stories, Sonam called Anshula 'beautiful.'
