I for one love her reality show India’s Next Top Model, where she plays a fabulous mentor to aspiring models and passes on her words of wisdom to the young girls who are looking to make a career for themselves in the modeling world. She recently made headlines when she tied the knot with beau Dino Lalvani in a hush-hush ceremony in Thailand. Not only did she make for a beautiful bride, her wedding was the perfect blend of fun and frolic, something that fairytales are made of.

Haydon recently appeared on Vogue BFF chat show with her best friend and ace designer Tarun Tahiliani. Between all the reminiscing and recalling funny anecdotes, Lisa went on to reveal something that will make you gape in shock.

If you thought that it’s only people who are overweight?get body shamed then you are in for a rude awakening because this sultry actress was body-shamed for being too skinny. She further went on to reveal that she was told that her skinniness is as bad as being fat.

“People always think that if you’re on the larger side or you’re overweight, then you become complex. But I think being a really skinny kid makes you quite complex too.”

Not just body-shamed, she was often compared to a toothpick. Yes, a toothpick!

“I just remember being picked on for being a toothpick. Really skinny and really tall. Eventually, you fill out and then, you tend to not put on weight when you’re older. But, when you’re younger and if you’re really thin, people just make fun of you,” she said.

It’s ironic that people who make jibes at others are often not perfect themselves. I have seen many plus sized women saying nasty things about overweight women and vice versa. Unfortunately, the society sets a standard and expects everyone to follow suit. The whole idea of standing out from the crowd does not go down too well with a lot of people people. After Lisa Haydon’s revelation one thing’s for sure, you can be subjected to people’s joke irrespective of your size.
