Bipasha Basu calls out body-shaming trolls: They do not define me
Bipasha penned a lengthy note in the comment section of the video, which had glimpses of how her appearance has been trolled after she gained post-pregnancy weight.
The actor, known for her work in projects such as Raaz, Omkara and Dhoom 2, said she is a confident woman who isn't bothered by such comments.
"Hope the human race does not remain so shallow and so low forever… and they encourage and applaud women for the million roles they play each day. I am a super confident woman with a very evolved loving partner and family. Memes and trolls do not define me ever… nor did they make me who I am," Basu wrote in the caption.
The Humshakals actor added such remarks can be hurtful to others.
"But these are deeply disturbing reflections of the society towards women . Another woman in my place could be deeply affected and scarred with the viciousness...Anyways if we have more strong voices and at least women understanding and applauding women for who they are then women will rise higher and higher :) We are unstoppable ladies," she said.
Bipasha began dating Karan Singh Grover in 2014, after meeting him on the set of their film Alone. They tied the knot in April 2016.

Emraan Hashmi confesses that his on-screen kissing scenes made his wife uncomfortable: 'Doesn't like it...'
Emraan Hashmi confesses that his on-screen kissing scenes made his wife uncomfortable 'doesn't like it..' In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, sometimes actors have to play bold parts on screen that may grab them a lot of attention but come with a lot of challenges personally. One such similar tale is of an actor who made a name for himself not just through his impeccable acting, but also by doing intimate scenes; he became the face of bold. Labelled the 'serial kisser' of Indian cinema, his acting was sometimes eclipsed by his kissing scenes. The actor that we are talking about is none other than Emraan Hashmi. With films like Murder, Jannat, Gangster, and Raaz, the 'serial kisser' tag followed him for years. While fans enjoyed his romantic on-screen persona, the reality at home was quite different. Emraan's Wife On His Kissing Scenes In an interview, Emraan revealed that his wife and even his father often felt uncomfortable with his repeated intimate scenes in films. 'My wife and my father are always uncomfortable whenever I do an intimate scene,' he said. 'They may not like it, but they understand that I make these choices for my long-term career.' Speaking jokingly, Emraan said, 'It's like Salman Khan not taking off his shirt in a film, the audience feels cheated.' He added that actors often have to do certain things to grab eyeballs of the audience and make them happy. 'Every actor has certain things they do to make the audience happy. This is one of those things. And honestly, it's more fun than taking off your shirt.' Emraan Hashmi on Being Typecast While his fans were entertained by this side of him, the actor confessed to feeling typecast. 'I've realised that the term 'serial kisser' has become synonymous with my name, and I'm not someone who fights it anymore,' Emraan said. Speaking of a funny incident from the 2009 film Tum Mile, in which he starred opposite Soha Ali Khan. 'There's a scene where it's just Soha and me on screen, and it's a typical Emraan Hashmi moment where I'm supposed to kiss the girl, but I didn't. And I heard someone sitting next to me in the theatre say, 'What happened to Emraan Hashmi in this film? Was he sick or something?'' Now Emraan is all geared up to work in more content-driven roles, but his honest confession sheds light on the pressures actors face, not just from the industry or fans, but also within their personal lives.
