Dasvi actress Nimrat Kaur recently made shocking comment amid Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan’s separation rumours. Here’s what the actress has to say.
In recent months, rumours have circulated about a potential separation between Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. However, the Bachchan family has chosen to remain silent in the face of this negativity. Amidst these swirling speculations, some social media users have made unfounded claims that Abhishek was unfaithful to Aishwarya with his Dasvi co-star, Nimrat Kaur. Yet, no evidence has emerged to support these allegations.
With Nimrat Kaur’s name caught up in the controversy, an old statement of hers has resurfaced online. The actress, who gained 15 kg for her role in Dasvi, wrote a compelling note on body positivity after the film’s release on Netflix. In it, she bravely addressed the criticism she faced regarding her weight gain, advocating for self-acceptance and resilience in the face of negativity.
When The Lunchbox star was questioned about whether her post was aimed at her critics, Nimrat Kaur responded during a 2022 interview with The Times of India, saying, “Frankly, it was not so much of trolls that I was referring to. That didn’t happen to me. It was something that I experienced personally in day-to-day life. I am referring to people who were around me when I was gaining weight or had gained weight, not those who are hiding behind their gadgets. These are people whose minds have been conditioned in a manner that makes them feel that woh kisi ko bhi kuch bhi bol sakte hain whether it is on someone’s body or looks or even food habits. It is as if they have a right to everyone’s personal space, and don’t realise the sanctity of what is right and what is wrong. No basic courtesy.”
She further added, “This was not an unintentional space I was in. I knew I shall return to my normal zone. This was about 18 months ago. I decided that I will speak about it one day after all this is over. I had a problem with unsolicited comments. I felt so sad and sorry for people who are not born with unconventional height, looks, bodies, or skin colour. A lot of personal awareness is the need of the hour. We can’t go and tell anything to anybody just because we have access to them. I was getting paid for my job but it did affect me to some extent. I would come back home feeling a little odd. Imagine the impact on those who are unable to reverse their condition and have to hear such comments.”
Nimrat Kaur’s professional front
On the professional front, Nimrat Kaur’s most recent appearance was in the mystery thriller Sajini Shinde Ka Viral Video, directed by Mikhil Musale. The film featured a talented cast, including Radhika Madan, Subodh Bhave, and Bhagyashree. Unfortunately, it struggled at the box office following its release in October 2023.
