This literally made me cry as I am overweight and goes through this situation every day😕... Sometimes I really feel there is no value for education and good moral values in this world

A wise man said- you are not ugly, you are just born in a judgemental society.💜

It hurts the most when your own parents start bodyshaming you at every moment

It's an awesome incident, have personally experienced it for years, luckily not married, living in peace and not in pieces of mind, thank you for reminding, 😇☺

I went through the same..my own family made me felt bitter...I lost 15 kgs in 3 months ...but it's not for what people said ...I changed to improve my fitness and health ...and to get into figure that I wish to see myself in ...but beauty comes in every shape and size you desire and you are comfortable and happy in your life

I never had weight issues in my life. Infact I was seen as a perfect girl and got lots of proposals in school, college. Got married early bcos lot of boys wanted to marry me. So I never thought about people who face such humiliation everyday. But when I became a mother and gained lot of weight, my people started looking at me as a different person. As if I am not a good human being. How I was taking care of my family, kids, my kindness for others,my good behaviour with everyone did not matter to them. All that mattered was that I was an overweight woman who was looked down upon everyday. I am not talking abt my husband. He was there for me always and never said a word for my appearance. That’s my parents, my own family who body shamed me. I wanted to go to my moms place and wanted to eat and enjoy. But I started hiding my feelings. I stopped eating at my moms place bcos I was scared that they might start discussing my extra weight.Then I moved to the US. A total different world. And I realised my self worth. I started wearing what I liked, I was confident and looked beautiful than never before. That’s why I can relate to this video where parents sometimes body Shame their kids so much, not realizing that it is breaking them from within and shaking their confidence.

My husband proposed to me 25 years ago because I was very good looking, belonged to a very well educated and good family, and my religious values were in place. After two children and a few pounds, the same husband called me a fat fuck. His words are forever engraved in my memory and heart. If you can't love someone for who they are, please don't bring them in your life.

In our society....this happens at almost every home.Actually we girls are not humans but the product to be rated in stars.Anyways nice video,all the characters did their best.As always hatts off to you aunty.please come with more such awakening videos.Thanks a lot.

I have been fascinated by this story, everyone used to call me Moti in school, in family functions. Everyone just used to say, lose a little weight, lose weight, and I had gone into depression due to all this, then I did not give up.And now when I am fit, everyone tells me did you have any disease in childhood? I am ashamed of my society that why these people keep taunting only girls for body shaming?

This is so relatable. Today , suddenly I started searching for contents similar to this . My whole life I have been fat shamed , I still am at times . After a certain point it didn't hurt enough for me to retaliate coz I got used to it (don't know if it's good or plain sad) wherever u go , u always have people staring at you , whispering about you even . Every single person giving u weight loss tips even if u never asked for their 2 cent opinion. Even if someone persuades you into joining a gym n u don't lose weight regardless of your efforts you're still blamed n looked down upon. Derogatory comments always manage to shatter our self confidence that when someone genuinely tries to compliment you all u can think about is that they are pitying you. As much as we say that our thinking had evolved I know it's complete bs coz people still invalidate our feelings if we're sad about someone judging our appearance. Even if I have people who care about me .....at times I have felt so alone all bcoz I'm fat

This was happening with me everyday but when I decided that it's my body and my wish nd no one have anything to do with it I just took it in a positive way that log toh kehte hi rehenge nd what u need to do is just ignore and self love is very much important ❤️ don't forget to love yourself first rather than hating yourself by listening to others words!

I was 80 kg when I was in 12th standard....alot of people body shamed me including my parents....but I realised my parents always say that becoz of my health reasons...then I started loosing weight and now I am 60 kg ....still some people think I am lil bit chubby.....u can't change the society.....so be happy ....and if you want to loose weight for urself and for ur health ....then go for it ....but do it for yourself ...not for other.

Lovely vedio. I am always overweight. Still i am. But i am lucky that i met a guy on internet back in 2007 who was only interested in me as a person inside not how i look outside. We dated without seeing each other for 6 years. We got married in year 2013 and spending my life happily with those extra kilos which i need to shed for my health but not to please anyone. My hubby daily says u are so beautiful and it gives me the confidence to face the brutal society. I wish every girl gets right partner to share her life 😀

My so called my friend, commented and shamed me for body shape and skin color. I often used to take it to my heart. My other friends were ok and looked at my good qualities I possesed and asked me to work on it and things started falling in places.

i am overweight too and i am now 18 years old and going through a treatment for depression beacaus i am fat....my family memebers felt me like that i can't do anything in life and my self confidence is very low and people of my age bully me a lot .....sometimes i feel sooo sad and lonely...now thanks to my therapists and my two best friends i am trying to loose weight not for any one but my health...(as obesity cause many problems)...people bully me and say i will never have a boy friend but actually in reality i love to stay single.....so if you consider yourself beautiful then no one can steal that from you.....this video is so muucchhh relatable to me . well i am fat but i am beautiful than all the students who makes fun of me because i am fat.....just accept youself the way you are.....loved the concept of this video

My mom was very fit before she gave birth to me and my brother and I hear my father always say to her that she is fat, I am slowly driving into depression because my parents relation is breaking each day 😭😭😭

Yes.. It's true... But zyada bura tab lagta hai when it comes from your own family. Har kisi ki apni identity and personality hoti hai.. Yeh cheez kabhi parents bhool jaate hai

A very nice concept. A true one. It is true for all - fat, thin, fair, dark n the list goes on. I myself am on the plump side and boys have rejected me because I am fat. Liked the concept very much. Keep up the good work Life Tak 👍🏼

This is actually based on my story. I am a chubby girl but every guy rejects me. All my relatives even my parents are saying to lose weight. Its not that I am not willing to reduce some but I am trying. Why everybody is only concerned about body and not heart? Does it mean If i am Fat I am not well behaved girl or I am lacking in something? Why doesn't society accept plus sized girls? No one has ever been in love at first sight with plus sized girls.

When I had to meet the guy for the first time everyone was reminding be how to behave so that he likes me….it was the evening before I had to go and meet him and I spoke to my best friend about how nervous I was and she was the first person to tell me forget what he thinks of u…focus on the fact that will u like him or not…and I was so damn surprised that y didn’t I think of that ..it is supposed to be my choice…m a doctor for gods sake …y am I so nervous just because m fat!!!🤦🏻‍♀️… fyi..that guy is my husband now…

Lucky to have someone who accepted me for who I am and when I gained weight instead of blaming helped me to loose . And loves every inch of mine. 😇🥰

I am glad these sisters are looking out for one another. Usually, what happens in cases such as the one shown here is, it would result in a lifelong animosity, because one of them is gifted with great looks, and is placed a top of a pedestal, while the other is made to feel as though she isn’t the happy accident of her parents. These grudges, if left unchecked, can result in serious adulthood tragedies.

The color of my skin The shape and size of my body is none of your concern What to wear and what not to What to do and what not to What’s perfect and what’s imperfect What’s beautiful and what’s ugly Sorry you can’t decide it for me So if you think you can put me down By comparing me to others Then you need to grow up Coz everyone is unique If you think you can hurt me By your nasty comments Then, let me tell you, I’ve blocked them from my mind And heart long time back If you think you can ridicule me By laughing at my flaws Then, go ahead and laugh, But first, look at yours If you think you can stop me from Being me by your unsolicited advice Then keep trying, but I won’t change So don’t give stress to your little brain And if you think you can break my Confidence into pieces By playing the game of body-shame Then you must know, for me Imperfection is the perfection’s new name And if you think you gonna stop me With all your bullshit Then sorry to disappoint, you won’t succeed Coz I don’t give a damn what you think about me I’m going with my flaws flawlessly (By Homebody RJB)

I went through this my whole life ☹️ it exists in every country. Wish you guys would have extended the episode to show that the guy would be willing to marry her.

Yeah fitness is important for health not only for figure , concentrate on your health rather than anything as health is wealth 😊😊

Lovely concept. The three of them have made it so better so relatable.

Love the way the #LifeTak team tries to highlight social taboos, like in this clip. Body-shaming is very common and needs to stop. Value people for what they are as individuals. If you are not a good human being, it doesn't matter whatever else you are good at.

I face it every single time... And I am done pretending! 😔 Can't compromise anymore now, not with my self respect at least!

What to say you guys always bring a topic which touches our heart and teach a lesson......keep going

Social media par har koi iss concept ko nice, awesome bolte hai...But real mai bahut kam log aise life partner ko apni life ka hissa bana na chahte hai...Everyone struggling with their own problems help them not mock them...Always try to be reason for someone's smile not the reason of their tears😍🙏

Moral of the story : *NEVER JUDGE A BOOK BY IT'S COVER*

Yes this type of humiliation I felt Everyday from my parents from my friends they suggest me to loose some weight they were like u will loose weight u look more pretty than this I feel so insulted and my self confident break within a second , even my ex-boyfriend also broked up with me because I am fat he thinks that her partner looks beautiful infront of society whom he can Introduce with a proudly so I can relate this insulation , each and every person have right to live with acception no one has right to make them feel that you are not perfect for so called "physical appearance* defination

I am also fat and when my parents were looking for my life partner,pnr of our relative said that if my father gives lot of dowry then only one will marry me..But Allah answered my prayers and I got my partner who is very loving and caring and he didn't even get a single penny as dowry..All thanks to Allah

True! No matter even if you’re the DM of the city, you will still be judged on looks especially body shaming. On the contrary, no one cares whether the guy is fat, bald, etc etc. they escape the degree of humiliation if they’re successful. 😒

Today i was bullied by my classmate because of my height (5'6) and weight. So i searched for motivational videos😔 and i found this video,and now i am feeling confident in myself❤ thanks a lot 😊

It really hurts 💔 when your own mother say to you, you're fat, lazy you don't try to loose weight and etc.. Sometimes I just want to end this all 🙁

Here's my story- Am fat from very beginning. Am always a fat child. Now days i trying to loose weight, because I have irregular period. Two days earlier me & my friends went to one of my friend's house. We eat food. Then suddenly my friend's mom said "Loose some weight, eat less ( I literally eat less). nowadays boys don't like fat girls. They only like slim or skinny girls." I was shattered. I was just "eating" my food, which was prepared by her. She was the one who invited us. From that day again I started feel fat. I can't explain my feelings to anyone, how I was feel that time.. I can't even imagine the situation. (English is not my first language)

Yes just keep working on improving yourself and develop good moralities and virtues of life.How you look is not something that's matter but how you are is the big ❓ which everybody highlights ❤️

This reminds me of this one time when I was back in India at my mom's house, I was just lying down trying to get a nap, when my nani suddenly comes in and comments about how fat and unflattering I looked in that position and that nobody would marry me in the future if I don't lose weight, I WAS 14 when she told me this.

I can relate with dis as I gone through it my whole life,i am a Man and as a man we also face bodyshaming very much by opposite gender but only woman side comes out, that's very disappointing

The physical appearance of both men and women matters all over the world and in all walks of life. It matters at work, for marriage, social relationships, home, school, etc.

I can really relate with this as I am also going through this every day

This literally made me cry .I remember this one time I was going to my tution classes and one aunty called me fat and told me to loose weight and I was depressed coz of that for almost a week . Guys pls stop fat shaming 🙏🙏🙏🙏

A difficult concept handled beautifully.

Yes I also agree that spiritual beauty is more valuable than physical beauty 🙂🙂🙂

Mind-blowing concept & You three potrait this amazingly....We can't stop society to jugde us.. but we can make ourselves so strong that nobody can point on us....We need to be healthy , but not let anybody body shame you...& if they does just ignore them...bhaad mein jaye who judge us...God made us beautiful in our own way... ...

I faced body shaming but i never mind it. I don't even care about others and what they have to say. I am me and i love being myself. Yeah I do take care. My mother used to feel bad for me but I told her kuchh toh log j=kahenge logon ka kaam hai kehna, zamane ki fikar chhodo. I love it that you guys made a video on this topic, keep up!!!!!

Meri masi ki beti h vo 28 yrs ki ho gyi h but abhi tak unki shadi nhii hui , ladke walon ne unko reject krr diya mota keh krrrr Plsss guys pray for her to be get married soon.🙏🙏🙏🙏 I feel so sad for her 😞😞😞

Real pain comes from what is now programmed in our minds.. By family, relatives and society... It is taught that beautiful girls should be slim.. Fair.. Soft and fragile.. And boys should be tough.. Which makes ONESELF to feel they are not enough.. They are upto that so called " Perfect"look.. And sadly.. No matter how many such inspirational videos pop up.. Somewhere we will end up with that typical mentality!

"Breakfast karne do na usko aram se." Yes, breakfast should be like a king 👍👍

Isse zaida relatable kuch nahi hai,thank you life tak❤❤❤

Hum toh har roj ye sab sunte hai. Lekin Ignore karte hue aage badha hoon. Humko toh Bhainsha sab sunne ko mila. Lekin Aaj kaamyaab hoon toh sabki bolti band hai. Enjoy the Life & Ignore what people said about u. Aap khud khoobsurat ho. very nice video 🙏🙏. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The only point is ki we should work out and eat healthy for us and not for how the society will treat us or noone will find us beautiful ❤️ We want to be fit so to stay away from diseases and lead a healthy life I dont want to lose weight because I wanna fit in a pair of jeans or I want boys to get attracted to me Her mother was right when she was asking her to eat healthy but... As soon she attached the "ladke moti ladki pasand nhi karte " statement ,the whole topic changed !!

I have experienced this all. But luckily my parents don't force me as shown in this video. But other relatives interfere. My only wish was to be with someone who accepts me as I am without any change. I will only lose weight to have good health not to be in good looks for someone. Finally got my man ☺️

I am Doc but having gud education , but still fighting for same issue I cried evwry day but not loose hope And waiting for gud time when i rock my life .....🥰

You always bring us such heart touching and heart changing contents. That's why I fall in love with your channel. Because #WhyNot

Guys your is upgrading day after day... And it's becoming amazing. Please also come up with a video on premature ovarian failure and how the girls suffer in the society.

Ikr I just don't understand the standards that society has set Like it's wrong to define beauty as a skinny body and fair skin Beauty is skin deep!

This is so real for me. I'm obese and there's not even a single day, when I've not been told how many calories I'm in taking. Feeling so bad. But, this is an actual struggle on daily basis.

A boy had said "pakode jaisi naak" for my nose. I think the image formed in an average head for life partner is only physical, not mental, emotional, intellectual or behavioural. We should learn to search happiness within ourselves and good people around us, they also exist.

Great,much needed topic,depicted so beautifully👍❤

Could like to see a part 2 of this video. What happened when she meets the boy and his family for match making that evening?

Really touching video. I have been facing this since my childhood from my own mother. May be she is right she wants her daughter to be beautiful n not let others comment on her body but the parents way of dealing it is not right. They have to do things smoothly especially with children and teens. It’s a delicate age where they don’t understand and buildup all these pressure and loose their self confidence.

Really nice concept, well performed by all ladies 👌👌

I am definitely one of those who will fall under fat category But I never got any such things from my family and luckily neither did my partner who fell in love with me and my personality Happily married

Such a nice concept I always tell and belive that we should never judge anyone by their looks...and still I do believe in it

Bahut achi lagi. Really other things matter more than body and you should never choose a person who chose you for your body

These things only look good in serials not in reality. Reality is that women are judged by looks and men are judged by their salary. This is the biggest truth whether one admits or not.

All videos of life tak is best i always watch every videos..love it

As always Nice Concept.... Mind blowing acting..

Be yourself dont change for anyone else let everyone accept how u r

If we are fat they say overweight or if we slim they say don't you eat anything. Society will see everything in a negative view so just ignore it. It's relatable Who agrees

Totally relatable in every house. It happens now as well in our society. 🙄

Really helpful content 👍🏻 for today's generation.

Ha bilkul sahi kaha aapne last wali line mi because I have faced lots of rejection..... Because of my complexion but I have done engineering..... Nothing matter ki aap kya karti ho bus sub ko beautiful maid chahiya hoti hai....

I was actually depressed because of my weight this really made me cry

Very important message conveyed 😊 good work team, way to go

I wish I could show this video to my own family, neighbors, and all those ladke wale who only want slim girl instead of an earning independent sensible engineer girl. I pray to god that they get a slim girl with zero mind.

Meri bhi same story hain. Mujhe sadi ke liye slim hone bola jata tha. Meri study aur meri job ki koi mayne nahi tha. Phir mere pass mere husband ka rishta aaye. And I'm very happy that he loves me not my body. Now we are happy together. And we are having 4 yrs daughter.

True... very true.... overweight people face this humiliation daily .... good one

The message of the story is really good.👌But one must maintain weight (not for others) but to prevent oneself from lifestyle disorders.There is no harm in Medical consultation if you are really concerned about ur own fitness.🙏

I just love every single video of Life Tak 👌👍👏. Tremendous work

Their laughing at me, their words, their bullying, their rejections, their judgements are never gonna stop :) because our society always judge by physical appearance even those literatures, cinemas also shows beautiful faces and figures besides everyone shouts to stop body shaming but never accept an ugly or overweight girl. We can't change it but this short flim speaks a lot ^_^

I have experienced this personally not with my family but with my friends..Some of them either used to ignore me or mock me but when i started college i discovered yoga and lost weight with the help of it..Now when they see me in the neighbourhood they want to talk to me and be friends with ne but i just ignore them by saying i m busy right now..Bcoz a true friend is better than 1000 fake friends..I m happy with few friends who love me irrespective of my weight colour or any physical feature..I too never judge a person by their outer appearance..no one should do that

Since my childhood, I had been getting always judged by relatives bcz of my dusky complexion, for being not so beautiful compared to their daughters, i was the most bright student than all of their daughters but that never mattered to them.

Kuch to log kahenge logo ka kam hai kehena 😀why we care about others if they don't care for our ❤️

See the truth is health matters a lot. Aur agar ap mote hain to apko iska dhyan dena chahiye. Complexion, height ye sb pe hamara control nahi hota. But mote hone pr thoda to hota hai. Motapa apne sath baht sari bimariyan bhi le kr ata hai.

"You could be tall or short, or fat or thin, or ugly - or handsome, like your father - or you can be black or yellow or white, it doesn't matter. But what does matter is the size of your heart and the strength of your character.” Herman Munster...

Another great video from the Life Tak team. Kudos to you!!

my so called rishtedar said ''u look like her not by face by body'' I said her ''u look like society🙂''

Good bahut achhi bat samjhai h kuch logo ko gyan aa jana cahiye . Is vedio se

Bahut, correct batya hai aapne, LADKIYO ko aise change hona padega, adjust hona padega ke pressure mei itni galat decision hojati hai ki life barbaad hojati hai aur fir Sirf rona he ek option Hota, aur uspe gharwale fir tag lagayenge "kya kare kismat hai" Usse Accha ki ladki Awaaz uthaye Taaki aage Jaake regret na ho, family ka pressure ek limit tak he thik hai warna straightaway say "" NO"".

I can relate this because of my height I am 16 year old and my height is 5 feet....

Mind blowing story...❤️ I wish people wish understand this. Yea I have so many experiences related to my body bcz I am skinny... But one experience was wrost & heartbreaking where my bf cheated on me then leave me bcz of this & his mother also said a lot bad & mean things about me & my family...😞😭

I've experienced the same not for weight gain but pimples on my face....I've gone through each and every medicine and home remedies but the result was zero... Every second person whom I met...ohh..too much pimples on your face.. You should worry about that... I just want to say the inner beuty is nothing for our society they judge the people by their appearances..

Yes, bahut se . bahut se nahi mostly aadami yehi sochta hai ki bibi slim aur har kaam mai perfect ho Maine apni society mai yehi dekha hai

Really an awesome theme has been acted out. It's a common issue we face every now or then

You all are best in every concept 👍👍👍👍

Yes I'm also healthy and can directly relate to this
