Aamina Sheikh shared her body-shaming story on her Instagram post
The former model and a Pakistani actress Aamina Sheikh who is known very well for her astound acting skills. Also, in her last movie “Cake” she won even more hearts than before. The 37-year-old actress is married to Mohib Mirza and now they have a daughter too. And in her recent commercial of a cooking oil, she beautifully addresses that body shaming is something that someone is not fine with.
After this, yesterday Aamina shared her personal experience with body shaming. And left a heartfelt message on Instagram. She shared how she’s been getting comments on her huge forehead since childhood.
Here her message!
In school they used to say ‘you have a hockey field for a forehead aamina’ and I used to find that hilarious! Even now I find myself quoting that when notable designers, directors, photographers, makeup artists, colleagues would admire it…many for tv to this day suggest that I cover it as ‘its too big aamina, it makes your face look strange,’ and ‘don’t tie your hair so tightly back as it’ll further recede your hairline and you can not afford that.’ I totally get it and take it with my stride, even take their suggestions manyatimes BUT not for a second do I allow these voices to create any kind of complex in me. These voices have never hindered me AT ALL…and I’d like to share why?
Because during my upbringing, my parents, my siblings, my homeground—they NEVER made any such comments. Such observations of one’s physical appearance was NEVER a topic of concern in the home while growing up—it was almost always about education, about developing life skills and traits, acha khana, acha pina, acha sona, timings, discipline etc. the only concerns in the household were matters that would later help us steer our lives successfully in a balanced and healthy way. That’s it !
Home really is the breeding ground of one’s sense of self. Please be mindful, create that nest, that safe space and respectfully raise your children to be able to take the shame out of body shaming ! It begins with YOU !
Aamina inspired so many of her fans and everyone by her message. They praised her for being strong and honest.
We should really be careful about making jokes and statement on someone’s physical appearances, it can affect them mentally and even physically.
