On Wednesday, Mrunal Thakur, who was recently seen in the film Family Star alongside Vijay Deverakonda, reshared Dolly Singh's post on her Instagram feed alongside a poignant note that read, "Thank you Dolly Singh.

Now coming back to the post in concern, Dolly Singh bravely opened up about the struggles many face with body image, striking a chord with countless individuals – celebrities and fans alike – who have grappled with similar struggles. In her note, Dolly Singh wrote: “Like most people, my weight fluctuates too. Being on the naturally skinny side of the spectrum, I tend to lose weight easily (when I don't want to) and it's hard to put it back on. Last few months of finishing up the house, adulting and stressing took away the few good kgs I had gained over the last few years.”

Sharing her reaction to this development, Dolly Singh explained: “Honestly, this time I wasn't worried about it. I know that if I get back on my routine, work out, eat on time and with intention, I'll slowly get there. There is no hurry. I love my body now. I love my body in every state because it supports me. I have come to believe that and honestly, I feel proud about that. I have grown up despising my body, hating every bit of it, so this...is growth.”
