Akshay Dogra goes shirtless for his show Warris on &TV

It’s the season to go shirtless in the industry. However, that does put a lot of pressure on the actors to have chiselled greek god bodies. in a bid to be seen as the perfect one, many actors are seen slaving it out in gyms at unearthly hours. Now, it is obvious that if audiences only see chiselled bodies then they will also aspire to achieve that body.

However, Akshay Dogra who will be seen shirtless in his show has decided to go ahead and shoot inspite of not having a great body. He is advocating the fact that one should be confident and love the body which they have. He feels that body shamming has taken such big proportion that there are many people who suffer because of this and by doing this he wants the world to know that being happy is more important than a six pack.

Speaking about the same Akshay said,”  We live in an age where television influences the young very easily. if we continuously bombard them with imagery of picture perfect bodies we put unnecessary stress on them to be the same. I am extremely comfortable in the way i look and i would advise people also to enjoy life and not confirm to societal norms.
