In an interview with the Hindustan Times, Rashami Desai opened up about getting trolled for her appearance at Arti Singh’s sangeet ceremony. Talking about the same, the actress revealed that she has been unwell for a few months and her appearance changed a bit. However, people didn't pay heed to what she was going through and started trolling her just because she was a public figure. In her words:

"In the glamour world, there's pressure to meet certain beauty standards. But sometimes, people don't realise what you are going through. I have been unwell for a few months. You can either do what you want or listen to others. I choose the former. I don’t need validation from anyone. Trolling comes with being in the public eye; it’s a part of life.”

Rashami further mentioned that though she has developed a thick skin, she sometimes does hurt by trolling. The 38-year-old added that she can’t look 21-22 forever, but people are finding it hard to accept the change. However, she shared that she no longer gets affected by the constant trolling and negativity that comes her way. She said: “Surviving in this industry takes dedication. I can’t look 21-22 forever. My journey is beautiful, but change is hard for some people to accept. But it doesn’t affect me anymore because I am not born with a golden spoon. Everything that I have learnt is on my own. The negativity around has never harmed me and that’s one of the reasons I have been very strong.”
