Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya won praise from fans for her grit and determination to complete tasks on Rohit Shetty’s Khatron Ke Khiladi. Now, the actress has gone on to share a post flaunting her injuries with the caption, “Edited or original? I prefer the latter. Why hide? Embrace reality.” Divyanka speaks to mid-day.com about what led to her being raw and real on social media.

Your post flaunting your injuries is inspirational. What promoted you to put up the post?
I began with editing the image. I removed all flaws but after completion I paused and wondered why do we have to fake beautify everything. If someone met me in person they'll see me in a completely different state from what's there on social media. I wanted to put across a message to say that it's okay not to look perfect. One can get dressed or put filters for one's own feel good factor but one mustn't always pose to be something else for world's judgmental eyes. In fact, may be no one's judging us except for ourselves.
