In the Instagram post, Anushla is wearing a blue bikini and she revealed how she, a while ago, did not possess the confidence to post her picture in a bikini, let alone wear one. She also said that society has drilled this idea in our heads that bikinis are only meant to suit the so-called perfect body. She wrote that is slowly training her brain to change this mentality and embrace herself as she is.    

Anshula wrote, “3 months ago I remember having a conversation with @priyamganeriwal about swimming costumes, and I remember telling her I would never wear a bikini, I just couldn’t pull it off and I don’t have the confidence to be comfortable in one. Her response was simple – “why not? I think you should totally wear one”. Why was I hesitant? Because I’m so used to thinking that I need a particular body type to be able to wear certain clothes.. I’m so conditioned to wanting to hide my body and “play it safe”, it’s like my default setting is to always be like “no, I can’t pull that off”. And I’m learning to change this.”

In the caption, Anshula also mentioned that she was reluctant to post the image. She revealed that she still struggles with body image issues. She said that she is slowly learning to accept herself even on the days she does not want to.    

Anshula added, “This image has been sitting in my drafts for a couple of weeks, because I still have what we call bad body image days. And on days like that I convince myself that only “perfect” photos belong on the feed. I’m still learning to un-hate my body, I’m learning to be okay with my body even on days when she’s bloated or not looking her best. It is okay to be covered in stretch marks, it is normal to have cellulite & texture, skin is meant to fold and roll, and my FUPA is always going to be a part of me and that’s okay too!”

Anshula went on share that she intends on choosing what makes her happy rather than perfection. She recalled the day when the picture was taken and said that it was one of her favourite days on that holiday. 

She added further, “I’m glad I took a chance and bought the bikini. This was one of my favorite days on our holiday.. I felt confident, I felt comfortable in my own skin. This is me chasing joy instead of perfection. And I actually can’t wait to wear this bikini again. If you’ve ever wanted to wear something that you’ve liked on someone else but you’ve convinced yourself not to, maybe it’s time to just chase joy and listen to your heart?”
