The media has set unrealistic beauty standards, leading to individuals feeling inferior, developing an inferiority complex, and even losing their confidence. The issue of body structure, weight, and physical appearance has plagued society for a long time, and we need to address it.
Influencer and life coach Priya Paramita Paul has been vocal about the need for accepting XL bodies in the glamour industry. According to her, there are very few people who can come out as they are, be it fat, healthy or overweight. It takes courage to be yourself in front of others, and we need to change the way we perceive body types and sizes.
Priya has always been confident and never faced inferiority issues, even when she was overweight. This is because she worked on herself, took personality development programs, and developed self-love. However, not everyone is as strong as Priya, and we need to support them. Making sure that people accept XL bodies is not easy, but it is essential.

There is more pressure to look good on celebrities, as they are part of the glamour industry, she says, adding, “I feel a lot of pressure right now. Whenever I go to any casting directors or well-known producers, they always say that they are looking for a person with a specific body shape, or a very slim girl.
This creates a lot of pressure on people because you have to cut down on so many things, including food. It gets very overwhelming for people like me, in fact, even men. We hear of so many heart attack incidents because of steroids. It shows that it is not at all easy for people to manage such things, even though they do it rigorously. for both men and women. Sometimes, you need to let your face and skin breathe.
I especially don’t agree with the concept of wearing makeup in the gym. You should wear makeup according to your job role.” Ask her if she feels that we will ever come to a point where body structure, weight and physical appearance won’t be the first thing that comes to our mind when we meet someone, and she says, “I do feel that we will come to that point, but it will take time.
It will take a lot of time and people will have to take a lot of courage and come out in public. All the directors and producers should have the courage to break the stereotypical mindset and launch an XL sized, talented actors. We should have the courage to launch such people.”
