Shefali Shah recalls being bullied, punched in school

In an exclusive interview with us, Shefali opened up about being judged for her appearance. "When you are growing up, I am not talking about my parents, but otherwise, you are told that you are not good-looking. I was bullied in school. Nobody liked me. There used to be one girl who used to keep punching me. She used to call me 'telu'. And I met her some years ago in her restaurant, and I felt sorry for her. And then someone you know would say If you were thinner, you would look really nice. It's so much of it."

The actress further reflected on how people don't appreciate each other enough. She believes that if someone finds something beautiful or nice, they must say it."If somebody walked up to me and said something sweet about me, I will be so happy. It would make my day so. So, if you see something lovely, say it! Two is that I don't like the way I look. I don't think I ever will be thin enough. I just won't be. Very rarely do I look at myself and I say 'Oh! I am looking good'. But I just can't see it. When somebody compliments me that 'you are looking beautiful', I cannot take a compliment."

Shefali further revealed how she instantly reacts when someone compliments her. "Because my immediate thing is that my make-up team is so good. They work so hard and make me look good, which is a fact. I have a fabulous team. They work hard and make me look like that."Having said that, the actress admitted that she is not comfortable in her skin on some days. "But to say that I am comfortable in my skin, some days I am and some days I am not. Most of the time, it's like I am not enough. One way to look at it is you have low self-esteem, and the other way to look at it is something I am still hungry for something more space, quality and ease," she said while signing off.Keep following this space for more updates!
