Ashnoor Kaur Shares Candid Insights on Body Image and Bigg Boss 19 Experience
Actress Ashnoor Kaur, who gained widespread recognition through her participation in the reality show Bigg Boss 19, has been remarkably transparent about both her personal and professional life. In a recent, deeply personal conversation, she opened up about her ongoing journey toward self-acceptance, body image, and building genuine confidence. This candid discussion took place on actress Soha Ali Khan's popular podcast, All About Her, where Ashnoor reflected on the unique challenges of growing up in the public eye.
The Mental and Emotional Journey of Self-Acceptance
Reflecting on her formative years spent under constant public scrutiny, Ashnoor shared profound insights into the psychological impact. “A lot of it starts mentally. A lot of trauma gets stored in your body. Be easy on yourself. Be at peace,” she advised, highlighting the importance of mental well-being in overcoming body image issues. She spoke openly about the immense pressures of maintaining a healthy relationship with her body while navigating public expectations and media commentary, a struggle many young actors face but seldom discuss so openly.
Revealing the Toxic Environment of Bigg Boss 19
When the conversation turned to her experience on the reality show Bigg Boss 19, Ashnoor did not hold back in her assessment. She described the environment within the house as “toxic,” shedding light on the deep-seated insecurities that plague even the most outwardly confident contestants. “The episode that happened. The audacity of the people inside the house. No matter how good-looking they are, they still feel that they are not good enough, and that’s so sad,” she revealed, pointing to a pervasive culture of self-doubt and comparison that the show often fosters.
The Futile Search for External Solutions
Ashnoor recounted her extensive efforts to conform to societal beauty standards through various fitness trends and diets, admitting that none provided lasting confidence. “I’ve literally tried everything. Tapping myself to being on a water diet. Keto. This workout. That workout. Trillions of trainers. Nothing worked,” she confessed. This honest admission underscores her realization that true confidence and self-worth must come from within, rather than from external validation or physical transformations.

From growing up under scrutiny to navigating health, appearance, and self-worth in the public eye, this conversation explores what confidence really means today,” she wrote. The caption further elaborated, “Had a deeply honest and insightful conversation with Ashnoor Kaur, who shared her journey of growing up in front of the camera and learning to rebuild her relationship with her body, and Shalini, who added thoughtful perspective on confidence, body language, presence, and self-expression.”
