Malavika Mohanan is known for her red hot looks and powerful performances. She recently starred in Vikram's Thangalaan and now she is starring in Prabhas' The Raja Saab and Karthi's Sardar.
Malavika speaking to scribes, spoke about differences between Bollywood and south thought process. She said "I used to be very perplexed earlier, too, because I’ve grown up in Mumbai. It was a completely new phenomenon that navels are obsessed over so much. And then you’d see pictures of actresses on social media, where they zoom into their bodies. Navel obsession is a very real thing."
She added "When I did my first film, I was 21 at that time. I was trolled so much for being skinny. My body changed in my mid-20s. That’s when I got a little curvier. I was trolled so badly, and it was harsh! It really affected me,"
On criticism over her physique, she added "I got called things like skin on bones, go get some weight these are still polite things. There were some degrading things as well. When you make a person feel bad about their body at an impressionable age, it is not a good thing, you are just bullying them,"
