Ashnoor Kaur on Being Judged for Her Body | Body Positivity | @AshnoorKaurOfficial | Shalini Rathod

ALL ABOUT HER with SOHA ALI KHAN ft. Ashnoor Kaur & Shalini Rathod | EPISODE 24 | BODY IMAGE, CONFIDENCE & OWNING YOUR PRESENCE

For women, the body is often the first thing the world comments on before talent, before voice, before identity.

From childhood and adolescence to adulthood and public life, women are constantly taught to see their bodies through the lens of judgement, comparison, and expectation. Weight, appearance, posture, clothing everything becomes a conversation, often louder than who we truly are. But what does it take to rebuild a healthy relationship with our bodies? And how do we reclaim confidence in a world that constantly watches, comments, and compares?

In this episode of All About Her, I sit down with actor Ashnoor Kaur and confidence & image coach Shalini Rathod for a deeply honest and empowering conversation on body image, self-worth, and learning to show up fully without apology.

Ashnoor, who has grown up in front of the camera, opens up about navigating puberty and body changes under public scrutiny, dealing with body-shaming and commentary, her experience on reality television where visibility comes without filters, and the emotional toll of having her appearance discussed more than her work. She speaks candidly about hormonal imbalances, stress, an unhealthy relationship with food, the importance of family support especially her bond with her father and how her understanding of confidence has evolved over time. Ashnoor also reflects on why body neutrality matters more than body perfection, and how she is learning to be gentler with herself.

Shalini brings expert insight into how confidence is not just felt, but seen through posture, body language, communication, and presence. Drawing from her own journey and her work with thousands of individuals, she breaks down beauty bias, the psychology behind appearance, power dressing, and practical micro-habits women can adopt to feel more grounded and confident in their bodies. She also explains how childhood conditioning, social media, and constant comparison shape the way women carry themselves often unconsciously.
