However, in “Maa Behan”, Madhuri’s character is judged by society, including for her choice of sleeveless blouse. During her recent interview, Madhuri talked about her early days in her acting career and said that she had also experienced body shaming.

Madhuri shared, “Being a public figure, it is really hard because one has to deal with all kinds of opinions and views from society. When I started my career, everyone used to say that I looked too slim. People used to ask me, ‘Feed her something.’ It is quite easy for people to comment.” Whether one becomes fat or skinny, people will always comment.

Madhuri also said that in earlier times, dealing with such things was a little easier because there was no social media. She said, "In today's times, because of social media and its anonymity, people say anything. But it's important to focus on your work, do what you love, and learn to love yourself."
