Shehnaz Treasury on being bodyshamed on Ishq Vishk set Shehnaz opened up about how it had always been about her appearance, right from her very first movie, Ishq Vishk. She recalled the pressure of playing Alisha, the best-looking girl in college, and said, "In college, there was all that pressure too - you know, like Neeli neeli aankhon wali kaun hai wo - and then the director was like, 'You've got to wear green lenses, you have to be perfect, you have to look great. Oh, you don't look good in some angles; actresses are supposed to look good in all angles,' as if it was my fault." She added, "I was told, 'Oh, you're too fat, your belly is sticking out, you need to diet.' The other girl in the movie was so thin - they were padding her, putting pads on her - while they were trying to shrink me. So I was on some crazy diet. They wouldn't let me eat. It was so ridiculous. And it was so sad. Looking back, I can't believe we had to go through those things. In fact, the world we live in today is much nicer to actors and more accepting of all shapes and sizes."
