Ananya Panday, in a chat with Forbes India, shared that she has been "very insecure" about her body since she was a child. "When I was in school, people would say, 'You're...hunchback, you've toothpick legs, chicken legs, and you're...flat-screen TV.' I heard things like, 'Why are your arms so hairy?'" she added. Ananya further said all this "really affected" her.
