Jamie Was Called 'Chudail' For Her Skin Tone
Recently, Jamie Lever opened up about getting trolled offline and online for years. She revealed about getting abused for her appearance, especially her skin tone and body type.
During a candid conversation with Hauterrfly, she shared how she was subjected to relentless trolling just for looking the way she does.
Jamie said, "I get so many comments — ‘Kaali hai, chudail lagti hai, chudail jaise hasti hai, you are ugly, you won’t get work in the industry, tu marr kyu nahi jaati…’ These are the kinds of messages I’ve received all my life."
She also revealed that growing up she was constantly told to apply ubtans and turmeric to look fair. Jamie also talked about getting body-shamed for being plumpy and curvy.
Even my own family asked me to cover my posterior because I have a bigger hip. I have a pear-shaped body — what do I do about it? I would only wear long kurtas and dresses to keep my lower body hidden. It took years before I could truly embrace my body and curves," added Jamie.
Jamie Was Sexually Harassed At 12 by Bus Conductor!
During the same interview, Jamie also recalled her first experience with a creep when she was just 12 years old. As she shared, a man suddenly came in front of her and her friend while they were waiting outside their school. He suddenly started m*sturbating in front of them leaving the duo traumatised. They slowly moved towards their car and locked the door. The man left after realising that the girls weren't paying any attention.
Recalling another such incident, Jamie shared that during her school days, a bus conductor used to touch her and her friends and hold them. For her, these incidents were like a bad dream.
