Telugu actress, Priyanka Jawalkar was recently seen in Satya Dev’s Thimmarasu, which released in theaters on the 30th of July. The actress played a very brief role in the film. Incidentally, the actress reacted to the body-shaming comments she faced after the film released in theaters.
“I have been listening to a few reports and they are saying I have put on weight. They are body-shaming me. But I had my personal reasons behind the weight gain. I faced a few medical complications after the lockdown and I had to gain some weight. A few people are simply passing remarks without knowing the story behind my weight,” she said.
“My director and cinematographer were supportive when I spoke to them about my weight gain. They wanted the performer in me rather than the model. I am glad I could deliver the performance they had expected from me,” she said.
Priyanka is now awaiting the release of SR Kalyanamandapam, which is gearing up for release on 6th August.
