Many of us watch Indian movies and watch celebrities grow in the industry but one thing that we are unaware of is that the celebrities that are glamorous and fabulous who have overwhelming confidence were bullied once upon a time.
It’s shocking to see and hear but former Miss World turned actress Priyanka Chopra, who has a huge fan base all over the world, surprised many by admitting that she was bullied in secondary school and had very low self-esteem. They pin pointed at her and called her ‘browney’.
Priyanka was in Delhi as she spoke out about her time in school in America and how the bullies never got the best of her. During the event the actress recalled her journey from being a “gawky imperfect child” to a Bollywood star. It’s very shocking to see how someone that is so beautiful and confident and that many young girls look up to had to face bullying as a young girl.
Also another big time Bollywood actor that was bullied at a very young age is Raghu. Raghu stated: “Criticism hardly bothers me. I stay in a self-created bubble and get angry when I hear/see nonsense. In school, I used to get bullied a lot and it was quite a serious in nature. I feel my life changed because of those unpleasant experiences. My personality was shaped in a certain way because I faced bullying of the worst nature.”
It is upsetting to see such a big actor that is very successful in the Bollywood industry bullied when he was a young boy. Seeing as many of us face bullying as an everyday activity can understand that it has a huge impact on our lives and also how it shapes us into the person we become when were older.
Looking up to these celebrities as a role model is an important thing mainly because seeing someone that is very confident with themselves that had gone through such hardship and stress of being bullied throughout the years can be something impressive and something many of us can look up to.
