New Delhi June 7 (IANS) YouTube star Prajakta Koli says she was not happy with her appearance and credits digital media for liberating her from her insecurities.
More than anybody else shaming me I used to feel insecure about myself Prajakta said in a statement.
She added: I have grown up a very tanned child because I used to play a lot of sports back in school I loved going to the beach. Even right now I am always tanned because I am always out and that used to get to me so much.
I used to feel like I am not fair and I don t have right skin tone I felt my nose is ugly for three years my face was decorated with pimples everywhere. It was crazy and it was a hard time for me she said.
So more than anybody else shaming me I was not happy with my body. After I started doing YouTube I realised that it is so liberating to be okay with the body that you have and when you love yourself everything seems okay! Like now I don t think I am enough comfortable or I am enough confident in life like I was feeling ever before.
Prajakta a former radio presenter is busy with her channel managed by One Digital Entertainment (a digital video and creator network). She came out with a new video Be Shameless about body shaming.
Prajakta says A lot of people ask me that the songs these days are all about fair skin and the perfect body the media is scrutinising you.
That s the point I am trying to make in my song. I am not here to change the world I haven t made the song to change the world or to tell everybody to not judge people. I have made this song to tell the people who are being judged to not give the world an authority to judge them she added.
