Mumbai: When you notice body hair and immediately feel disgusted, consider where that dislike originates from. The year is 2022, and many of us still feel burdened by the unrealistic standards of beauty. Actor Tillotama Shome graciously refuses to follow these standards in her latest Instagram post. The actor took to her social media handle this morning to show off her underarm hair. She posed for the photo in a tank top, proud and unafraid to show off her not-so-smooth armpits by lifting her arms.
Sharing an inspiring note on her Instagram account, Tillotama Shome wrote, “I do say Sorry a lot. The worst is when I apologise in anticipation of someone’s apology as if it’s a Hello. I am sorry if I did something good because I could have done it better. The visceral ones of course, slip out of your mouth in silence. The t-shirt is a reminder to use it less and mean it more. (Oh and about body hair, yeah not sorry about it. I wear it as I like it. Its not a statement. I also wax. I also don’t.) Good day! (sic).”
