Dolly Singh, who attended the reception for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant on Sunday, shared on Instagram about an encounter where a woman made her feel self-conscious about her body. Singh was one of the invited content creators at the ‘Mangal Utsav’ event hosted by the Ambani family at the Jio World Centre in Mumbai.
“I have to tell you guys about an achievement of mine last night. It’s a big deal for me,” Dolly Singh expressed in a video.
Singh recalled the woman commenting, “I met someone and they were very sweet in general. But then, instantly, it turned into comments about my body.”
“Aap toh bade skinny ho real life mein, aap camera pe bade acchhe dikte ho. But real like mein aap bahut hi zyada skinny ho (You are very skinny in real life. You look very good on camera but you are very skinny actually),”
The well-known content creator, with over 1.6 million followers on Instagram, chose not to disclose the identity of the person who made the hurtful remarks.
She recounted responding to the woman’s remarks by acknowledging, “For the first time in my life, I was life, Yes I am skinny,”
“They kept saying it, they kept saying,” said Dolly Singh.
When confronted, Singh told the woman, “You don’t say such things to someone on their face.”
The woman reportedly softened her comments after Singh addressed her.
Dolly Singh has openly discussed experiencing body-shaming during her upbringing and her own body insecurities.
