Television actress and former Bigg Boss OTT contestant Bebika Dhurve has slammed online trolls who mocked her for gaining weight. The actress, who was recently spotted at an event in Mumbai, faced a barrage of body-shaming comments after videos of her appearance surfaced on social media.
For the outing, Bebika wore a green mini dress paired with a shimmery blazer and looked cheerful as she posed for the paparazzi. However, a popular Instagram page, with over 2.5 million followers, shared a video of her with a caption that read, "Ex-Bigg Boss... contestant’s old slim look resurfaces… now seen with noticeable weight gain (sic)."
The insensitive post triggered harsh comments from users, but Bebika chose to speak up. Responding in the comments section, the actress revealed that she is currently unwell and dealing with a foot fracture.
"I have a fractured foot. I am helplessly bedridden. Still, I somehow push myself to step out for events or content posting… Nobody wants to gain weight. At times, they are helpless. Let’s be kind and less judgmental," she wrote.
Take a look at the video and her comment here:
Bebika, who is often targetted for her looks and body type, has previously addressed the pressures of public scrutiny. Despite the negativity, she continues to show up at public events and remains active on social media. She often collaborated with former India's Got Talent contestant and content creator Eshan Masih for dance reels on Instagram.
The actress is the daughter of popular astrologer Janardhan Dhurve, known for his appearances on Bigg Boss to predict contestants' fates.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Bebika was last seen on the reality show Reality Ranis Of The Jungle and has featured in TV shows like Kundali Bhagya, Bhagya Lakshmi, Pavitra Bhagya, and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain.
