Mumbai-January 06 (Online): Arjun Kapoor has won the battle against obesity, not once but twice and wanted to develop a platform where the youth of the nation can easily talk about the health issues being faced by them.<\/p>\n
Arjun said, \u201cI\u2019m really grateful to everyone for being so supportive after I spoke about my fight with obesity. I didn\u2019t expect people to be so appreciative of my journey and motivate me to be a constant work in progress. Life is about cherishing your struggles and owning them. <\/p>\n
So, here I\u2019m owning every bit of my life without the fear of being judged. People have told me that I should keep on speaking openly about my struggle because many in India are going through the same thing, especially the youth of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
He further added, \u201cI have been told that I have shown many how health is not just about how you physically look, it is also about what you are going through deep inside your mind too. I felt liberated when I spoke about how I went about tackling it. <\/p>\n
I felt courageous after I spoke out because I had to take on trolls who are ignorant about this serious issue plaguing the youth of today and demoralise them further. We need a more compassionate world and we need to vocalise our issues openly without being judged or shamed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m thinking of starting some kind of an initiative that gives a platform to people to openly talk about such issues and their mental health. I\u2019m going to work on this in the months to come and hopefully see if I have an action plan that can benefit many. For most people, it\u2019s a constant struggle. It\u2019s normal to go through such issues whether you are a celebrity or not. Everybody has to keep working on themselves. <\/p>\n
Not everybody is blessed with perfect genetics and metabolism. What I spoke about has resonated with many more people than what I had imagined and I hope it brings the necessary attention to such an important issue,\u201d the actor said while adding further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
