Lin Laishram on body shaming
Talking about the recent incident, Lin told Hindustan Times, “It was not the first time I faced body shaming from trolls. The comments have been a constant issue, and I wouldn’t stay silent. I’ve tried to respond kindly, explaining that everyone is different, and some people are naturally skinny. I’ve struggled with body dysmorphia for a long time, and now that I’m older, there are additional challenges as well.” Lin had recently spoken about body positivity in an Instagram post. See here:

Majority of such comments come from women: Lin Laishram
Revealing that Lin receives many comments from women asking her to lose weight she said, “It was shocking to see the number of comments from women telling me to lose weight. For instance, at a big celebrity bash earlier this year, a seasoned actor asked me, ‘Why don’t you workout?' Over the years, I’ve noticed that the majority of such comments come from women."

Lin also spoke about her fitness and how she has always been into sports. She said, “I have worked out all my life, I was a sportsperson. When you get comments like that… it’s unnecessary pressure on somebody. It’s none of your business to tell someone to exercise, or troll or make fun of how they look. They say ‘you are a part of the celebrity gang’, but each one of us is also a part of the society; human emotions don’t fade away. ”
