I say that’s your problem, not mine. This is my strength; people pay to get such shape, and I have it naturally. If I am embracing it, what’s the problem with you?There are certain things about your body type which you can’t help. I don’t understand why Indians have this habit of discriminating against naturally curvaceous and voluptuous women. Why are they looked down upon? It took Kim Kardashian to make people realize how sexy the curves are on a woman? People should learn to own their bodies. Eat healthy food but not at the cost of putting your health at a bigger risk. I think I am just owning myself. I own my thick thighs and I have no regrets. And If I don’t, you shouldn’t have it either”.
