Geeta Kapur Opened About How Trolls Body Shamed Her

Geeta Kapur, often known as "Geeta Maa" to participants, has judged numerous reality shows over the past ten years. She recently spoke up about how trolls body shamed her when she first started working in television.

Since 2009, choreographer Geeta Kapur has served as a judge on dance reality competitions. When Dance India Dance first aired, she served on the panel with Terence Lewis and Remo D'Souza. Dance India Dance, the first significant dance reality show after Boogie Woogie, quickly became famous.

She saw her fair share of trolls while the programme was succeeding, and in a recent discussion, she recounted how they targeted her because of her body type.

Geeta Kapur On Body Shaming Trolls

Kapur was asked about social media comments and the general public's impressions during an interview with Manish Paul for his podcast. Although there were no social media platforms at the time, she claimed that she used to be upset by these comments when she first started appearing on television. She recalled receiving fan mail back then.

She Recalled

"Mujhe itne gande aur waahiyat kism ke cheezein aati thi,"(I would get such snide remarks) she recalled.

"Do you know how to? kaam koi kyu nahi dekh raha mera? Apni jagah banane ki koshish kar rahi hun, but koi yeh nahi dekh raha hai, main do mardon ke beech mein baithi hun. Mehnat main bhi kar rahi hun, oi yeh nahi dekh raha hai. When you say "yeh keh rahe hain," what exactly does that mean? Moti. Bhains ho gayi ho.

Terrence was obviously a handsome man, and Remo had a promising personality, so everyone was like "tum vahan pe kyu?"

(I remember being quite unhappy and wondering what was going on. Why aren't people viewing my work? I'm trying to take my spot while seated between two males, but no one is paying attention. I am working so hard, yet nobody can notice it. Why do people always ask me why I belong here? Fat. You appear to be a buffalo. Everyone was asking, "Why are you here?" with Terrence and Remo being there.)

Kapur continued, "The only time it impacted me truly hard was this," she said. She remembers one of her team members asking her if she really thought a stranger's viewpoint was worth listening to. "Is it influencing you to know their opinion?' asked one of my team members as they entered the room. Will their viewpoint be significant? Are they working as they should? She simply posed the queries before leaving.
