Dolly Singh spoke candidly about dealing with misogyny at home, her battle with mental health, and other topics. She also discussed body shaming and related a recent event that happened to her.

By shame, I mean all kinds of it
Dolly Singh told that she finds it quite upsetting that in 2023, people are still body-shaming one another. By shame, I mean all kinds of it. I have the impression that no one in this room has not now gone through something similar. Kuchh na kuchh is a common phrase.

Dolly claimed that a week prior, she had been filming in a Jaipur restaurant whose proprietor was a guy. The owner made a comment about her appearance as she prepared to consume a substantial paratha on camera.

She continued,
“You have to take those chances, you have to call people out on these things. Of course, I can see these things now that I’m an adult, but this is not cool. I enjoy how discussions are had about everyone’s shape, weight, face, hair, and everything else—not just tiny people. I go by the principle that if this individual cannot repair the situation in the next 5-10 seconds, don’t talk about it. Why do you say that?
