Priyamani opens up about being dark and looking plump

Priyamani, who won the Best Actress National Award for her role in ‘Paruthi Veeran’, is one of the few heroines who continues to do leading roles after her marriage.  The talented actress last appeared in a double role in the Tamil film ‘Charulatha’ in 2012 after which she has concentrated in Hindi, Telugu and Kannada language films and web series.  She is currently starring as a female lead in Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Lion’ directed by Atlee and costarring Nayanthara.

In a recent interview Priyamani, “I would not say go for a heavy workout. But being happy is of utmost importance. It is okay even if you are a plus-size person. Focus on what is needed rather than just browsing on your phone and doing nothing. Shell some time out to do what you love and take care of your health positively. Engage in a light workout or just do some household chores to get the body moving.”

The talented actress added  “Social media is just part of your life and not your life. I like to show only what I want to show to the fans. If they like me for that good even if they don’t it’s okay. Trolls feel that they have the authority to say what they want to say. Some people might take it very seriously. Social media is tricky. You don’t have to show everything to your fans and followers. Sometimes even I enjoy a few memes they make about me. I share it and have a good laugh, but at certain times a few comments are too harsh to digest. I straight away bock such trolls.”

The idea is that everyone should be happy. If you want to say something positive, say it. If you do not say so, keep it to yourself. You may not like me, but why should you send your opinion to others? ”

During the promotions of her ‘The Famil Man 2’ she stated “What is wrong, even if I am a dark-skinned person, first of all, change your opinion, don’t call anybody black because black is beautiful. Lord Krishna is black in colour, he was beautiful, black is beautiful. Don’t comment like this, even if you have something, keep it in your mind. Why do you want to spread negativity that ‘oh you’re fat, oh you’re black or things like that? Don’t do it.”
