Talking about the impact of body shaming on mental health Juggun said: “I had really bad Postpartum Depression because of this.” She highlighted that she wasn’t concerned about her weight gain but people forced her to worry about it. “I purposely walk in dropping posture nowadays so that my chest doesn’t get noticed; no girl should face these circumstances,” she said.
I was called names like gainda, moti [rhino, fat] when I gained weight during pregnancy. The people who pass these remarks take it as a joke but they are agonizing for the one who is at the receiving end,” she said.
