I don’t mind playing a fat girl, says Khushboo Shroff

Khushboo Shroff, who has no qualms about playing a “fat girl” on screen, made a bold statement on body shaming when she said that she is against working on “mindless things like showing fat people in a funny and useless context.” Talking about fat shaming, the actress said, “I don’t mind playing a fat girl because your body... to a certain extent decides the type of roles you get. A fat girl cannot play the role of a thin girl so, I am completely fine with that. What is not acceptable to me is playing the regressive roles where you see a fat girl used as a commodity for jokes. I make a conscious effort to not to play a role where a fat girl is just seen eating a pack of chips and doing nothing else.” The ‘Bodyguard’ actress feels that she might as well work on projects that “talk about real issues that have a positive impact on people and society rather than working on mindless things like showing fat people in a funny and useless context.” Khushboo Shroff will soon be seen in TV show ‘Laal Ishq,’ which will also feature Umang Jain and Karan Sharma.
