Thanks Sonali For Breaking Beauty Myth – Beauty Is Not In Glowing Skin & Long Hair

by IForHer Team
May 31, 2019

Did you hear the news about a BBA student from Mysuru, who committed suicide after she suffered excessive hair fall due to a failed hair straightening treatment?

Are you shocked? We are not.

It is bound to happen in a society, where beauty has been promoted as:

“fair complexioned, narrow waist but wider hips and breasts,  large eyes, full red lips, and long black hair”

But do we have any hope to change the centuries-old mindset of our society? Ofcourse!

In the middle of this news, Sonali Bendre, who is battling cancer, shared on her Instagram channel – the most powerful posts on the internet that are breaking the beauty myths – that show the real meaning of Beauty. 

The actress’ latest Instagram post is all about loving one’s self and self-acceptance. Recently, she posted multiple images on the internet that not only reflect her courage but also a tight slap in the face of our society – that preaches women that they can look beautiful only if they have glowing skin and long hair.

Her picture where she is sporting a completely bald head is a sign of true beauty.

In the recent video, she accepted that she loves looking good. But, what she loves more is to be who she wants to be – when she wants to be.

 

She says the beauty is not about looking good – it is about feeling good. 

Sonali shares in her Instagram post:
 

“No one can tell you what’s right or wrong for you.

When I was testing out the hair wigs, I had a brief moment of self-doubt. ‘Am I vain for wanting to look good?’ As part of the entertainment industry, you’re always expected to look good. Maybe that has been ingrained in me? But then I gave it a thought and realized I like looking good for me. If I’m in the mood to wear a scarf, I will.

If I want to walk around bald and free, I will.

Only you know what would make you feel good, and what works best for you…”

Hope as a society we would learn a thing or two about beauty from Sonali and her courageous struggle.

If we don’t learn then who will?

And If we don’t learn now then when?
