Content creator and reality TV star Anshula Kapoor has always championed the idea of embracing one’s body at every stage of life, but she insists her journey towards body positivity wasn’t triggered by a single moment. “It was more of a gradual process,” she explains. “Over time, I realised that waiting to look a certain way before being kind to myself was just holding me back. Once I started treating my body with respect, rather than criticism, I began to feel more comfortable in my own skin.”

Societal pressures on beauty standards are real, she admits, and she has felt them too. Yet, instead of chasing an elusive ideal of beauty, she focuses on what makes her feel good. “Beauty isn’t one-size-fits-all. I pay attention to my health, my work, and the people around me who uplift me. That’s what matters.”
