“I was never meant to be perfect. I was meant to be beautifully imperfect,” wrote actress Ileana D’Cruz, who has previously spoken of fights body dysmorphic disorder, in an Instagram post on Thursday. The actress, 33, posted a black and white photo of herself and wrote a long note on body positivity. Ileana had, in an interview last year, stated that she was having a hard time accepting her body as it is. She had also spoken about combating bodily humiliation at different stages of her life in the past. In her last post, Ileana wrote: “I have always worried about my appearance. I am afraid that my hips are too wide, my thighs too wobbly, my waist not narrow enough, my stomach not flat enough, my breasts not. big enough, my butt too big, my arms too shaken, my nose not straight enough, my lips not full enough … I’m afraid of not being tall enough, not pretty enough, not funny enough, not intelligent enough, not “perfect” enough “.
“Not realizing that I was never meant to be perfect. I was meant to be beautifully flawed. Different. Unusual. Unique. Every scar, every bump, every ‘flaw’ made me just, me. My kind of beauty. C is why I stopped trying to conform to the world‘s ideals of what is supposed to be beautiful. I stopped trying so hard to fit in. Why should I? When I was born to make me stand out, ”she added.

I have always worried about my appearance. I’m afraid that my hips are too wide, my thighs too wobbly, my waist not narrow enough, my stomach not flat enough, my breasts not big enough, my buttocks too big, my arms too shaky, my nose not straight enough, lips not full enough ….. I’m afraid of not being tall enough, not pretty enough, not funny enough, not smart enough, not “perfect” enough. Not realizing that I was never meant to be perfect. I was meant to be beautifully imperfect. Different. Eccentric. Unique. Every scar, every bump, every “flaw” made me, me. My own kind of handsome. That’s why I quit. Stopped trying to conform to the world’s ideals of what is supposed to be beautiful. I stopped trying so hard to fit in. Why should I? When I was born to stand out. #nophotoshop #nobs @colstonjulian

I have reached this point where I am happy. It’s fun and fun, ”the actress told Pinkvilla.
