New Delhi, April 1 (ANI): Bollywood actress Huma Qureshi, who was recently seen at the Femina's Style Diva, believes body shaming and criticising a person for his/her body type is not cool.

The 29-year-old actress told ANI, "There are a lot of people out there who are just bullies. They constantly keep telling you that you are too fat, too thin, your teeth are not fine, you can't speak English really well, and you are too short etc."

"Bullies will be bullies and I think body shaming is something that people all over the world are condoning and condemning because it's not cool. We need to set better role models for young women," she added.

 

Huma, who was styled by Astha Sharma for the event, has shed a lot of kilos, but the actress claim she just wishes to showcase the best of her personality.

She said, "I would like to say this for the record that I am not trying to lose weight or gain weight. I am just trying to be the best version of myself and that's really important.
