Vineeta Singh is among the most successful businesswomen in India yet even she has to face criticism about her looks. In a recent interaction with writer Chetan Bhagat, Vineeta about all the trolling she has to suffer on social media because of the way she looks or dresses.
“I am CEO of a company and even now people comment ‘you don’t look good enough’, ‘you started a makeup brand because you look so bad’, people say such negative things,” she said that she no longer reads comments on her posts. She added, “Your appearance, as a woman, is given so much importance. Even on Instagram, I’ve achieved so much in life, but when I post something, 95% of the comments are about the way you look. It’s one of those things. It’s a by-product of being a girl.”
She also said, “Nobody asked why does Steve Jobs wear the same shirts. It was fine for Mark Zuckerberg and Steve Jobs to wear the same T-shirt,” she added.
Vineeta said that individuals likewise ridicule her for starting a makeup business (Sugar Cosmetics) instead of something more ‘serious’. Be that as it may, she rubbishes their perspective in light of the fact that such individuals would think the same if she had begun a ‘steel empire’ too.
