Avika Gor's Instagram photos after weight loss 

The Balika Vadhu actor has posted a series of pictures of herself, which are her first photoshoot after shedding the excess weight. Avika Gor's weight loss had become a talking point in the recent past. Dressed in a long white shirt, paired with a denim belt and denim knee-high boots, Avika has kept hair open and can be seen embracing her curls. She looked stunning as she sat on a brown stool and posed for the camera.

Her caption read, "I was excited and nervous so I looked at myself in the mirror only after the styling & Hair-makeup was done for look 1. The first statement that came out of my mouth was, "Dude, I love what you've done to my hair." and Sandy was kind enough to share that, It's your natural hair. We didn't need to do much. It made me realize how we all take so many of our qualities/characteristics for granted. I was so busy worrying about what I didn't like in myself, that I didn't really acknowledge the good things(not just physical appearance, overall). Ever since I try my best to think of the positives in me & it helps me feel confident & peaceful."

Avika even asked her followers to take 5 seconds and share their amazing qualities with her in the comments section. You can see the post here.

In a recent post, a month ago, Avika had talked about body positivity and self-love. She talked about the time when she broke down thinking about the way she looked and how she had let go and ate anything and everything, without working out. Her appearance made her judge herself so much so that she didn't leave any scope for others to judge her. The actor revealed that her insecurities were getting to her head, which is why she started taking care of herself and eating right and now when she looks at herself, she doesn't feel the need to look away.

I still remember one night last year, when I looked at myself in the mirror & I broke down. I didn't like what I saw. Big arms, legs, a well earned belly. I had let go too much. If it were due to an illness(Thyroid,PCOD, etc), it would be okay because that would be out of my control. But, it happened because I ate anything & everything, and I didn't workout at all. Our bodies deserve to be treated well, but I didn't respect it. As a result, I disliked the way I looked so much that I couldn't even completely enjoy dancing (which I love) without thinking "how I must look right now". I got so busy judging myself & feeling bad that I didn't leave any scope for outsiders to make me feel bad. Such insecurities run in the head all the time & they make us feel tired & irritated. Hence, I would often snap at my loved ones. Well, one fine day I decided that it was enough, and that I must evolve. Nothing changed overnight. I just started to focus on the right things... things that I should be proud of(like dancing). I kept trying to eat better & working out, and I had various setbacks. But, it was important that I didn't stop. And my people were constantly there to guide me. Long story short, I looked at myself in the mirror this morning & I didn't feel the need to look away. I smiled at myself, and told myself that I'm beautiful. And you, the person reading this, you are beautiful as well. We all have a lot to offer & we must actively work on that, rather than feeling sad about what we can't do. But, we MUST do what's in our control. Today, I am comfortable in my own skin. Today, I'm peaceful. And I hope you are too? Share your stories of self-love in the comments. Let's make self-love cool! - Love & Light Avika☀️
