New Delhi: Bani J made her stunning entry into Indian television scene with reality show 'Roadies'. Back then Bani J or Gurbani Judge (yes, that's her full name) was a lean and tall girl, who rose to fame for her 'different' look. She was a class apart and what's why she became a host with MTV post her runner's up stand in 'Roadies 4' (2006).

Today, many years have gone by and we have a new Bani. She is as fierce as she was then only with a much fitter body and extensive tattoos all over. Bani J is different and perhaps that's why everyone likes to talk about her. However, it has not been an easy ride for this actor-VJ.

Recently, Bani shared a post on her Instagram where she slammed the people for calling her 'too manly'. Excerpt from her post reads like this: "Lifting weights will make you look manly'.
'You're not a girly girl if you lift weights' 'I don't lift weights because I just want to 'tone up'' 'Girls should only do cardio, lifting is for guys' 'So what steroids are you on' 'That's way too muchmuscle.. For a woman'

“All of the above and so much more. I've heard it all. And not once because I actually cared enough to ask, 'hey, what do *you* think of *my* body?'. I never entered the gym because of what people said I 'should/ ought to/ must' look like. I went in there to get strong, to be active, to be healthy, to sweat = to feel better, and more ME.

“I can't remember the last time the thought of 'will this be attractive to so and so' crossed my mind in relation to myself - let alone to me lifting weight. It doesn't happen. I love me so much and that's all that matters, I am so happy (blame all the endorphins) doing what I do day in and out that all else is tuned out.

This is something I've gotten better at accepting and allowing day by day. That's why you will always hear people say 'it's not just physical, it's so much more MENTAL' because to get to where you want to go, you have to look within and really be true to yourself and know that yes, this is what I'm about. This is what matters, this puts me in alignment and makes me a more joyful happy productive being. And guess what? You'll end up inspiring and encouraging and being that source for other people along the path too.

I don't go around telling people they should eat healthier or lift or try to lose weight, you do you. I'll do me. If someone asks for help I will always do what I can, I recognise the quest - but you need to recognise whether the desire really is there in you or not.

Why else do you think we don't see more people walking around with their Tupperware containers looking hench af? Because, if your hearts not in it, no matter how much you try - you'll never get there. Cold hard honest truth. Just like cold hard iron, work and discipline. Just wanted to share that with y'all fam”.
