Taapsee Pannu recently opened up about the unrealistic beauty standards that often dominate conversations around fitness. Using her Instagram Stories as a platform, she reflected on her own journey and the toll of chasing a flawless midriff, “I remember I had this obsession because while growing up, I was extremely fit, but I never understood why the lower belly fat always stayed. I worked out intensely, almost to an extent that I over-pushed myself, and rightly said, when you over-push yourself, it rings an alarm in your brain that your body needs protection. So instead of actually losing water retention, the body starts retaining it and then that lower belly fat, which might actually not just be fat, it’s also water retention, it stays, and it increases by overworking out, which I really believe people should not do.” Her candid admission was a reminder to fans that striving for social media perfection can come at a cost. On the professional front, Taapsee was last seen in ‘Assi’ and is preparing for her upcoming Netflix release, ‘Gandhari’.
