Thank you so much for this video Sejal! I am 5'1, and never really felt bad about this until I reached college. I've seen the 5'6 height requirement for Beauty Pageants and I remember it crushing me, even though I never really wanted to apply. It just made me feel less beautiful, and inferior to taller girls. It didn't help that I was a teenager and was surrounded by people who fed on these insecurities too. This needs to change!
I'm 5'0,22 and I recentlywon a pageant Beauty pageants are changing and are more inclusive. Height is based on genetic factors and there's no reason to be ashamed of it. I walked the ramp with models who were far taller than me.
Honestly, this resonates so much with me. I am sooo glad that someone out there(Sejal ❤️) has the courage to speak up about the hidden, dark stuff suffered by most of the youth... being judged on looks and stuff all the time. Becoming self conscious and anxious about our body is so traumatic. I love this series "shutup Sejal".... please never shut up Sejal ♥️🥺!!!! Love you! 😍♥️☺️❣️
Sejal are u even real? 😳 This is so so so good...I have been constant from almost 4 years but this is something huge...again became fan of urs..love u ❤
The criteria for the pageants, that is what has always been running on my mind. Specific height, weight, features shouldn't matter whatsoever. This podcast episode speaks volumes. Thank you Sejal, much love.
Shutup Sejal is such an amazing initiative where we get to meet the old Sejal and know this new Sejal more, simultaneously! We are getting both versions of Sejal and loving both of them! Lots of Love!
I agree with every point you mentioned,we as a society NEED to change the beauty standards. Honestly ,I never really understood the concept of these beauty pageant and their criteria of choosing.They select girls merely on the basis of physical appearance rather than the entire personality.These pageants also set unrealistic and UNREQUIRED beauty standards for girls as if the society is not enough to make them feel insecure. They give more importance to vanity rather than the ambition to bring a change in the society and henceforth those only qualify who fulfill their criteria of "beautiful" and those with actual purpose and calibre or who wish to bring a positive change through their position are eliminated in the initial rounds or maybe never make it to these pagents just because they don't fullfill those discriminatory standards. This was a small step towards that and I truly hope that we as a society give much more importance to knowledge and overall personality rather than physical appearance. KUDOS to you for speaking up!👏
Hey Sejal I've been following you for years now and I've always loved your content but this video hit different. I remember seeing the news recently about Miss universe and wondering how beauty pageants really impact us. I'm hardly 5'4" and I've been insecure about my height because of some arbitrary standard which states that tall girls are prettier. Judging people in their features is just bizarre and hurtful and comparison only makes people feel bad about themselves. Thank you for making this video. A lot of girls (including me) needed this. It's like speaking to a friend and collectively realising how we're beautiful as we are and we don't need a pageant or outside validation to support that. This video just makes me admire you so much.. ❤️
Most honest video… this is extremely important to put in notice especially when we are comparing ourselves every-now and then with someone and there’s so much out there going.. it becomes really difficult to really let go the society standards and accept oneself completely. Can really relate to what you said and this is the hard reality that no one talks about .. so don’t shut up Sejal keep spilling such experiences ❤️
Wow!! Honestly I am loving new Sejal more than previous one. I unsubscribed you and most other youtubers because content was becoming so boring and stale but this version of you Sejal is really exciting. Subscribed again.
Heyy Sejal!! Just wanted to come here and tell you that THIS IS AMAZING AND SO MUCH NEEDED more so in a world completely frought with Eurocentric beauty standards of fair skin and hourglass shape. The oversexualization of female body and the toxicity underneath all this is INSANE and so much ingrained. You did a great job👏👏💝
You are so Humble Sejal mam. I have been your subscriber since 4 years. Your transformation is so spectacular, like a flower who is finally even with the blooming process . It's even more nice that you are using your huge RUclips channel for sharing real journey. Everyone goes through dramatic changes between 20-25 years. But few have the courage to come to terms with it with compassion to self and realize the wholeness within.
It feels so good that we have seen sejal from very beginning and now we are seeing a complete different version of sejal more matured and most importantly a girl who is explaining every thing in a very mature way !!🌟 Sejal di you are a gem
This made me so emotional. I am in my 30s and lately getting extremely conscious about the way I look. There are things that can always be worked on but when you look at it from the vision of a 3rd person, you lose all your motivation to even get up and take a step. Hope world would soon work on themselves because of themselves and not because how the others want them to behave/look.
There is SO much more to life than looks. I feel lucky to have gotten out of this early enough in life. To any young girls reading this. Remember that there is so much to experience in life. Do NOT base your self worth on something you were born with whether it be "good" or "bad". Base your self worth on skills instead. Spend time learning what you love doing. Something that brings you joy beyond imagination. Trust me, you'll become best friends with life. you won't want to go back to a shallow lifestyle. I have learnt this the hard way but I'm so glad I did because there's no going back. :)
@@jojo-dv3uy agreed. That's true to a certain extent. But if you have talent, you can get even more privilege and respect. Maybe if you want to be an actress or model, the journey might be tougher for those without looks. But for other fields, confidence and talent trumps everything else. And I've noticed, that people who are confident start looking 100x better than how they would look otherwise.
@@jojo-dv3uy also about being likeable. If someone is losing friends/lovers because of looks. I feel more bad for those friends/lovers. I mean that's an extremely narrow thought process, isn't it?
@@lavanyam2892 the first thing people notice about you is the beauty tbh things like talent personality comes only after a duration of time but i think beauty can buy those chances and time. for example if someone if 80%beauty +50% talent i think she will get more chances and opportunities in life as compared to someone with 30% brain+50% talent.i am not talking about job sector .but social life depends to a great extent on it.an beautiful introvert will have lot more friends as compared to an ugly introvert
@@jojo-dv3uy I understand your point. It definitely makes sense. But long term, it doesn't matter no. There are so many examples for it. So many people are known for their personality vs exterior looks. The best example is Dhanush. When I saw him for the first time, I was like ew. But then he looks so damn handsome to me now. Like you said, yes it may snatch some opportunities from you. But trust me, it just means better opportunities are waiting for you. But. Long term, you will get what you want no matter what. And about friends. I'm an introvert. I'm not too bothered about the number of friends I have. Deeper connections are definitely forged more because of character than looks. And what is ugly anyway? Honestly, I really haven't seen anyone who repels me with their appearance. Im sure a lot more people are like this than you think. Okay, maybe in pageants and "beauty" related industries people are different and I think that's a very sad thing.
Sejal, you and I did that pageant together at a fest for the first time in 1st or 2nd year college, I remember! And we hadn't got selected then. And I had asked for feedback and this is what I was told- The winning girl chose a dress that suited her better. That it was bodycon, while mine was a soft skater. And apparently, her dress "highlighted her body better". And I was...shocked! I don't recall our pageant question answer round in detail but I do remember having a good walk like you and getting huge applause after answering my question! But it seemed that the winner's dress was more important than walk or wit. A year later I got selected and did the pageant again. You did it a year after me I think! Like you said, what stuck out was wearing a bikini and walking infront of all those judges hald of whom were men I didn't even know. So vulnerable. Do you remember how mean and scary our male mentor used to be? The short guy. Won't take names but it I think you know who I mean :P I remember he made another contestant in my batch, run up and down the stairs (and rewarded her with effing biscuits when she did) because he wanted her to lose weight. How is she supposed to get the ideal body by running on stairs in a week?! God. There was that fancy dinner they 'treated' us to, before the finale and they'd served biriyani. The mentors watched us eat with hawk eyes, glares and disapproving looks if anyone dared take a second helping. I took three helpings just to piss them off! 😂 I am half way into your video and I realise we had the same damn experience at that place. Toxic. And it took a lot of growing up to realise and accept the toxicity of that environment. I wish we knew better when we were younger ❤️
@@gitanjalisasmal7787 To be clear, I have no issues with a bikini. But the way it played out on that particular day waa tasteless. The experience hadn't happened for me to know how exactly I would feel about it right? Do you know your feelings about a situation before the situation happens? We were following instructions given to us. Also, I think you know that your question is an oversimplification. When we're young, we do a lot of things that we would never do as adults for a variety of reasons. When we mature, the world is different and we have the confidence and strength to take better decisions and say no where it matters.
Beauty contest means you are obviously being judged based on your beauties and bodies. As you have participated in contest you were mentored to train. And I think they had briefed about initially for wearing bikini and like that. I feel bad that experience was traumatic for you. But in my opinion you should not participate at age if you do not prepared mentally. And this is ture for any contest be it singing or dancing that you are obviously being judged and the best one would win. For deciding best one they have decided so called conventional beauty standard like this much height and weight. So if don't fit in to that standard obviously lost. This you should know before participating in any contest even government or any other exams have cut off marks and all. Rather you should not participate and being free Lancer and enjoying your life. Best luck.
@Sunaina Stargirl I don't think I have written any thing wrong or try to harass someone. I have put my point about the beauty competitions and perspectives . And clearly written if you are not prepared mentally than should not participate at that age.
Thank god that you exist Sejal ❤️ Atleast now that we are more educated so we can make our kids (not necessarily our own) more comfortable in their own skin 🧿💥
This is so deep Sejal! Even I also think the same way why a person needs to meet some criteria to be beautiful. It's her inner wisdom what makes her shine. The contests should not be on features that cannot control rather than what a person can control like personality, Cally of carrying one self, smart and self confidence... I am loving Shut up Sejal
Thank you for bringing this content, This whole pageant thing is so unrealistic, just judging on a particular scale, why shrink yourself just to fit in a crown When I see Harnaaz Sidhu or Manasa Varanasi or be it Manushi or anybody they are super slim and are trained to give a particular answer, like what you said coaching I wasted so many of my years as a young teen pushing my body to reach a particular shape. when we are teens we need societies' and opposite gender's validation to feel confident .in this course earlier I was obese, then I started eating less taking the stress and I became underweight ,I got thyroid.now at 25 I have validated myself. I wish I could learn all this at my young age. ❤ sejal
Appreciate your courage to speak up Sejal! I’ve followed you back then as well and love to see your growth as a person! I myself have done pageants and aspire to do more of them, yes beauty standards have somewhere emerged from pageants. However if we look at it, there is more representation today. Be it in terms of height, body types or skin colour. Moreover international pageants like Miss Universe do not have a height or weight criteria. It’s great to see someone speaking from their experience but yes things are changing ❤️
Omg Sejal! This video definitely needs a commendation. The 19 minutes speaks it all and this really needs to reach each and every person out there in the world. Beauty doesn't have a definition and we really need to stop inspecting ourselves over that silly stupid checklist which is made by our so LOVING AND KIND SOCIETY! Thank you Sejal ! Cheers to you ❤️
HAHAHAHHAHAHAH the ending!! 🤣🤣 But really, I'm your age exactly. I've watched your pageant video that you made earlier when you made it and I've watched this today. I read a lot of books on social justice and feminism, and I'm sooo glad that someone with your reach and your experience is so candid about what you went through. I'm sure it's not easy. You're really a role model and you've come so far. More power to you Sejal! I'm loving this series. I think this is what will bring back old subscribers who've grown up with you (like me). Also, the relatability and the vulnerability you show in this series, it's very real. I guess in today's world, where we're trying to get more positivity and inclusivity, this content is what people will be attracted towards. All the best for the other episodes 💖
This was very very helpful Sejal... Even I was there in the pageant and I also somewhere doubting myself and comparing too. But no one talks about these insights.. Love you so much nd this helped to boost the confidence ❤️
I felt I was reliving those moments again as you speak Sejal. But I still remember how you were most active and cheerful even at a 6am call time! Crazy days indeed.
Yessss the part where you talked about the criteria for entering into beauty pageant was so right if beauty is not just about external appearance then why should there be a height or weight limit beauty should be inclusive
Hey sejal, really loved today's video, I too think the same way, all this beauty pageant procedure somewhere is more judgemental, mainly on looks. Every being on this earth is beautiful.
Hey, that was so candid and courageous. The whole beauty pageant era was so outrageous especially having the conventional beauty standards as the only measure for girls success. Sure, many famous people were outcome of it but the greater influence of the thought process was damaging. So called “average” looking girls had confidence issues because of such kind of marketing. Happy that the next gen is evolved and things are changing in right direction.
This video was amazing- in the sense that you had the courage to come out on the Internet and say this stuff.I agree with you on so many levels.Its a sad thing that even in today's day and age we have "beauty pagents" instead of actually trying to get to know someone.From almost last 4 yrs you've been an inspiration to me as to how to be a resolute feminist! Kudos girl!
Loving all the episodes of Shutup Sejal. Never fails to match up to our expectations. Be it fashion, music or whatever. Truely loved everything you do. ❤🥰
I have recently completed my school, and I am 18 in the age you have talked today. I really love to do these kind of a stuff acting dancing, and also thinking to start my own RUclips stuff. But I am really concious in entering this acting world because I am short heighted girls so there can be so many rejections I could face. What I really can do I just don't understand. Rather than this when I saw you all the time I gain plenty of confidence in me to do things. Thank you so much Sejal di ♥️
So glad you’re questioning and exposing all of this for what it is, especially as someone who became popular with some of your pageant videos from the past
Hearing you talk about your journey made me realise how long I’ve been subscribed to you, and how we as a community have watched you grow and grown along with you. Couldn’t help thinking what a well-spoken and confident woman you are 😍💕
Honestly this is something I really needed... Cuz recently when i open my Instagram there r girls who r just doing modeling n going in paegents n all these stuffs... N i feel soo demotivated n low seeing girls from my own college that I'm doing nthng ... I couldn't do these ramp walks n all ..... But this is actually the truth @sejal behind all those beautiful n bright looking paegents... Thnkuu for the motivation ❤️❤️❤️
Loving this series so much; it always resonates with me. I have been following you since 2016, and I am so proud of you for all that you have achieved. Keep up the good work, and kudos to you for being so upfront and courageous!
I too just don't understand this whole concept of beauty peagents...it's just so toxic , at such a tender age girls compete with themselves and get judged on the basis of their looks ...why hasent anyone stood up for this until now..they really need to change their ways and criterias.
This is what the world needs to hear and understand ! Hat off to you Sejal. It takes a lot of courage to speak about these things. Love you for this! Way to go!
Hi sejal i want to tell u that.. i have been watching ur videos since 3 years and i love ur each and every video. I really appreciate the way u Express urself fully like a clear glass. You are motivating us too to speak for ourself and say what we dnt feel right that cn be related to society or family frends. I enjoy watching each nd every video of you. U r doing a great job. I wanna say i wish u stay blessed and happy. Wish u a great life ahead and may u achieve ur goals. Loads of love to you from Dilz Kaur :) I hope u read my comment :)
This is a very very good episode...and the most important thing is it can be relatable to many professions in different ways...the CORE TALK is the same with different outcomes
Omg! This really needed to be spoken. Comparison, people pitching a woman with another, societies standards to beauty and the endless objectification of a body.
Sejal , you be you and that is why I like you. I am not your typical youth subscriber and don’t think I belong here but I really like your thoughts and approach to life. Don’t change it will be though but you are not the usual person either
Thanks for making this video Sejal 😍 You made me realise we keep competing with others it’s important we compete with our old version because i know I would always defeat her/win over her 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thanks a bunch. Love you Sej 🥰🥰😘😘😘
Please make a video on personal financing and how you do it. Every young person should be aware of this topic
YESSS
Yesss
Yess
There are channels for this with experts in personal finance.
Yes pls good topic!
Everytime she uses the word 'young', I feel like, "Oh, I have watched her grow". It feels so good to watch her grow 😍💖💖.
I feel so proud, idk why

I wasted so many of my years as a young teen pushing my body to reach a particular shape. when we are teens we need societies' and opposite gender's validation to feel confident .in this course earlier I was obese, then I started eating less taking the stress and I became underweight ,I got thyroid.now at 25 I have validated myself.

Moreover international pageants like Miss Universe do not have a height or weight criteria.
It’s great to see someone speaking from their experience but yes things are changing ❤️
Omg Sejal! This video definitely needs a commendation. The 19 minutes speaks it all and this really needs to reach each and every person out there in the world. Beauty doesn't have a definition and we really need to stop inspecting ourselves over that silly stupid checklist which is made by our so LOVING AND KIND SOCIETY! Thank you Sejal ! Cheers to you ❤️

HAHAHAHHAHAHAH the ending!! 🤣🤣
But really, I'm your age exactly. I've watched your pageant video that you made earlier when you made it and I've watched this today. I read a lot of books on social justice and feminism, and I'm sooo glad that someone with your reach and your experience is so candid about what you went through. I'm sure it's not easy. You're really a role model and you've come so far. More power to you Sejal!
I'm loving this series. I think this is what will bring back old subscribers who've grown up with you (like me). Also, the relatability and the vulnerability you show in this series, it's very real. I guess in today's world, where we're trying to get more positivity and inclusivity, this content is what people will be attracted towards.
All the best for the other episodes 💖

The fashion and beauty industry definitely needs a lot more diversity.
This was very very helpful Sejal... Even I was there in the pageant and I also somewhere doubting myself and comparing too. But no one talks about these insights.. Love you so much nd this helped to boost the confidence ❤️
This episode…wow. I agree with EVERY SINGLE thing you mentioned. 👏 for bringing amazing, raw and yet honest content to us lately
This shutup sejal is just .....👌❤
I felt I was reliving those moments again as you speak Sejal. But I still remember how you were most active and cheerful even at a 6am call time! Crazy days indeed.
Do we have some kind of awards for podcasts or people because this series and you deserve it ♥️
Your Honesty and courage are at its peak in this video....
Yessss the part where you talked about the criteria for entering into beauty pageant was so right if beauty is not just about external appearance then why should there be a height or weight limit beauty should be inclusive
Hey sejal, really loved today's video, I too think the same way, all this beauty pageant procedure somewhere is more judgemental, mainly on looks. Every being on this earth is beautiful.
So far the best episode of your series, more courage to you for being vocal on such a sensitive topic ❤️
You need to give her for her honesty. Man she was so honest throughout, not trying to fit in bt just telling the harsh realities.
I am honestly loving your podcasts soo much! Please keep them coming!!
Love these episodes! Can we have your brother on one episode? That would be amazing!

Love you sejal.. love your honesty, your attempt at acceptance of yourself, love your journey and your growth..cheering for you
LOVED THIS EPISODE!! ❤️
Looking forward to the next one❤️❤️
Ok no. Your videos are getting better and better and better and even better with every passing day. Good job man
Hey, that was so candid and courageous. The whole beauty pageant era was so outrageous especially having the conventional beauty standards as the only measure for girls success. Sure, many famous people were outcome of it but the greater influence of the thought process was damaging. So called “average” looking girls had confidence issues because of such kind of marketing. Happy that the next gen is evolved and things are changing in right direction.
This video was amazing- in the sense that you had the courage to come out on the Internet and say this stuff.I agree with you on so many levels.Its a sad thing that even in today's day and age we have "beauty pagents" instead of actually trying to get to know someone.From almost last 4 yrs you've been an inspiration to me as to how to be a resolute feminist! Kudos girl!
You’re so talented sejal❤️ loved your perspective on this topic and i totally agree with all the points you mentioned ✨
Loving all the episodes of Shutup Sejal. Never fails to match up to our expectations. Be it fashion, music or whatever. Truely loved everything you do. ❤🥰

Firstly, Sejal you look so damn prettyyy😍😍🙈🙈
I have recently completed my school, and I am 18 in the age you have talked today. I really love to do these kind of a stuff acting dancing, and also thinking to start my own RUclips stuff. But I am really concious in entering this acting world because I am short heighted girls so there can be so many rejections I could face. What I really can do I just don't understand. Rather than this when I saw you all the time I gain plenty of confidence in me to do things. Thank you so much Sejal di ♥️
i loved how you put everything together. nobody talks abt this stuff due to fear of a lot of hate comments war. more strength to u
Loving the podcast Sejal!!!❤️❤️
Thanks Sejal for sharing insights. Truly appreciate you spoke about the real experiences and questioned what's served on the plate for women.
So glad you’re questioning and exposing all of this for what it is, especially as someone who became popular with some of your pageant videos from the past
Hearing you talk about your journey made me realise how long I’ve been subscribed to you, and how we as a community have watched you grow and grown along with you. Couldn’t help thinking what a well-spoken and confident woman you are 😍💕
Loving this version of Sejal ❤️👏✨ loving theses shutup Sejal series
Honestly this is something I really needed... Cuz recently when i open my Instagram there r girls who r just doing modeling n going in paegents n all these stuffs... N i feel soo demotivated n low seeing girls from my own college that I'm doing nthng ... I couldn't do these ramp walks n all ..... But this is actually the truth @sejal behind all those beautiful n bright looking paegents... Thnkuu for the motivation ❤️❤️❤️
Listening to it at 2 AM is hitting differently.. Such spectrum of life reality is eye opening.
This was an amazing episode, something we all can relate to. Much love S

This is the best video I have ever come across in my life!!! Thank you sejal!!!
Thank you for speaking about this!!! I love the last QnA part hahaha! Lots of love Sejal! ❤️
So proud of you Sejal. Today and everyday! ❤️
Hahaha that last bit!!!...that awkwardness, the irrelevant questions.... chef's kiss ❤️
Loved this part:
Ye meri body hai, vo toh kapda hai..🖤
I too just don't understand this whole concept of beauty peagents...it's just so toxic , at such a tender age girls compete with themselves and get judged on the basis of their looks ...why hasent anyone stood up for this until now..they really need to change their ways and criterias.
What a series! 🔥 Sejal you look so damn beautiful❤❤
Loving this new podcast Sejal!!

ruclips.net/user/shortsPkjFlCxKTlw?feature=share
The ending Q&A session hahahahahahh... so accurate lmaooo.... pageant people really be answering like this
You look so beautiful! Everything about this video is just beautiful! ❤
Sejal you are literally the most beautiful person for men 🥺💜🌟
The last questions got me laughingggg🤣 you're amazing Sejal
Love the way you change yourself 🙂
Omg! This really needed to be spoken. Comparison, people pitching a woman with another, societies standards to beauty and the endless objectification of a body.
Would your views would still be the same if you were a winner today? Just curious
Same here
Hey Sejal. Loving your podcasts.💖
Thank you Sejal for making this podcast
Sejal , you be you and that is why I like you. I am not your typical youth subscriber and don’t think I belong here but I really like your thoughts and approach to life. Don’t change it will be though but you are not the usual person either
So thoughtful and without filter. I love it
Thanks for making this video Sejal 😍
You made me realise we keep competing with others it’s important we compete with our old version because i know I would always defeat her/win over her 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks a bunch. Love you Sej 🥰🥰😘😘😘
loving this series ♥️ loved this video ♥️
I guess after Harnaaz kaur Sandhu won Miss Universe 2021 you came up with your story -Beauty pageant right?
Your message of this video is really beautiful 💗💫✨
