Television actress and Bigg Boss 6 participant Sayantani Ghosh, who is popular for her work in the shows Naaginn and Sanjivani, opened up in a recent interview about being constantly bodyshamed over the past several years.

Claiming that she has been facing inappropriate remarks over her breast size since she was a teenager, Sayantani reportedly said, “As far as my memory goes, I have faced such comments from my teenage years. One lady said ‘you are not flat-chested, you are pretty okay, on the higher side, in terms of your breast size, you must be having a lot of sex, right?’ So she thought that if you have a lot of sex, your breasts grow. I don’t even know what was that supposed to mean. And I’m like… I was a virgin then. I was like what is happening? So such things, they scar you unknowingly.”

The actress also recalled one of her experiences with casting couch involving a producer propositioning her to “spend some time” with him so he could train her for a role. “I have dealt with it (casting couch) and at times it depresses you. You start questioning yourself, ‘Is there something wrong with me? Am I the one who is giving out such vibes to the other person so they think they have the right to approach me that way?’ Even if you are not at fault, you start questioning your self-worth.”
