MUMBAI: While countless people around the world still weigh worth in inches and kilos, Anshula Kapoor is done with women shrinking—literally and metaphorically. The changemaker and body positivity advocate has now teamed up with COLORS’ much-anticipated show ‘Meri Bhavya Life’ to spark raw, necessary conversations around body image, PCOS, and reclaiming self-worth on your own terms with its lead actress Prisha Dhatwalia. With the show already stirring conversations around self-love and societal pressures, Anshula’s presence amplifies its impact.
Reflecting on why she chose to join forces with the show, Anshula shares, “I was drawn to the opportunity for honest conversations about body image and health through Meri Bhavya Life. These are the kinds of conversations I wish I had access to when I was younger.” Speaking candidly about living with PCOS in a world obsessed with appearances, she reveals the emotional toll of constantly being judged for her size. She admits, “We still live in a society where beauty is equated with size, and for years, I felt the pressure to shrink myself—in body, in personality, in ambition—to fit into a version of ‘acceptability.”
Opening up about healing, self-care and PCOS, she adds, "Over time, I’ve learned that self-worth isn’t something you earn through weight loss. It’s something you already have—even when the world hasn’t caught up to that truth. My healing began when I stopped tying my worth to a number on a scale. It takes strength to take up space exactly as you are—unapologetically and authentically. If Meri Bhavya Life can encourage more dialogue around body shaming, the misunderstood realities of PCOS, and the importance of self-compassion, then it has already taken steps in the right direction."
'Meri Bhavya Life' revolves around Bhavya (Prisha Dhatwalia) — a brilliant architect, gold medallist, and a plus-sized woman who’s abandoned at the mandap by a man more interested in her father’s stature than her soul. But she isn’t one to break — she rebuilds, rising with talent, grace, and unshakable self-belief. Her polar opposite Rishank (Karan Vohra), a fitness fanatic and praise-chaser, waltzes into her life, becoming her unexpected challenge.
Starring Prisha Dhatwalia in the titular role and Karan Vohra as Rishank, watch ‘Meri Bhavya Life’, everyday at 7:00 pm on COLORS and JioHotstar.
