    During the interview host asked Fatemah Abbas asked, “After you cross your twenties, you start experiencing weight issues, body image issues, was it the same when you entered the media industry?”

    Talking about body shaming, The Noor Jahan opened up about her struggle with body image and the impact of weight gain after her role in the serial,

    Alina said, “Maybe the clothes don’t fit, and what if I go back to being a size 12 or 14? I would still look big. That thought stays in the mind. You told me that now this thought is stuck in your mind. And then I stopped. I stopped. I said, ‘No, I’m not going to abuse myself and my body for anything or anyone.’ That’s what I’ve always loved. That should’s the only thing you have control over, right, and you’re ruining it, you’re abusing it. Why? Because people don’t like what they see, but you know, it did take a mental toll. It did, because I got really comfortable. I was a complainer, but I wasn’t doing anything about it because I myself couldn’t come to terms with the fact that I would have to work hard for this.”
     
    “Hard work is the first step. Making up your mind and going for it is tough. I used to run away from the gym, thinking I can’t do this, to hell with it. But after that, I think those comments actually helped me make up my mind. That I can’t keep living like this because I don’t like it myself,” Alina Abbas added.
