Actress Nithya Menen who is prepping up for the release of the web series Breathe: Into The Shadows recently opened up about how she handles all the body-shaming. Nithya told an online website that she gets affected by the criticism, "you will never get criticized by someone who does more than you; you’ll always get criticized by someone who does lesser than you," she was quoted saying.

She further added that nobody asks why one puts on weight and that they just assume things. “Nobody asks why you’re putting on weight; they just assume. There are so many questions to it. Are they going through some health-related issues? There’s so much that they don’t even think about,” she said.

Nithya further added, “I don’t believe in blowing up any personal problem and protesting. You do it yourself, you overcome these things. I have never spoken or given interviews about these things. But I do something about it. The way people look at me in the industry, with or without weight, it doesn’t matter, I’m given my due. That speaks more for me,” she said.

'Breathe: Into The Shadows, also starring Abhishek Bachchan, streams from July 10 on Amazon Prime Video.
