Kaun Bola Big Girls Can't Dance? - Sumukhi Suresh | Spoken Fest 2022 | Storytelling

Ойын-сауық

After Sumukhi Suresh stepped off the Spoken Fest Stage, she went to a corner with a few close friends and started crying. At the time, she couldn't understand why the tears were coming. After all, this was a... happy story? With a happy ending?
Sumukhi's story, "Kaun Bola Girls Can't Dance?" is about a secret she has carried with her for years: her love for dancing. She was made to feel ashamed for it, and this story is about overcoming that shame.
Watch till the end for a magical Spoken moment.

    What I love the most about this story is that nothing about it seems performative. It feels like she is having a conversation with the audience around her -- an honest, humorous and heartfelt conversation -- and the rest of us are listening in. She does not try too hard to make us feel any particular emotion, but we feel it all with her.

    I relate so much to the Big girl Tax bit. I spent such a big chunk of my life trying to make a crowd comfortable with my weight by poking fun at myself, even though I would never do that to someone else. So happy to see this comment section and Sumukhi at peace with themselves and the space they take ❤

    I hope when you join dance classes you find like minded people who appreciate you, not demotivate you. But if you don’t, don’t let others rule your life. It’s easy to say, but it’s something’s we have to do, at 15, or 25, 45, but we have to stop paying attention to others word. Sooner you do, better it is. Good luck

    I don't know whether I am overwhelmed, confused , happy or feeling vulnerable but One thing that I felt for sure is I felt so much relieved. It felt like some part of me got to do what she loves in you Sumu . I wish I could be like you , bold and Frank and super cool . Even tho I am a bit overweight , It gets me to the core everytime I am in public . I workout , watch my diet and make sure to do what's in my hands to become slim but everyone's bodies doesn't respond to them the same way . Listening to you was so heartfelt to me . I love you daa ❤️

    I never knew what was comedy. One day just randomly scrolling on KZread i opened a skit performed by sumukhi 'maid' since that day and today I only look sumukhi's stand up comedy and skits because she do work open heartedly as if no one cares. Her careless attitude towards people and talent of comedy outshines her. I am sumukhi fan now.

    This was amazing. I understand and relate to what she is saying since all my teenage I have been fat not overweight but definitely not what an" ideal female body" When I was in college I had some so called friends they literally fat shamed me every opportunity they got and if I ever stood up for myself they acted like I don't know how to take a joke! Finally during lockdown I started working out I am healthy now and I don't care about my weight anymore since I was never overweight, it was just that I was insecure and not confident enough. IDK what is it but everyone now a days says I look so good and all that, but IDK is it because my weight or because I am much more confident now however I always remained myself this high never lasts since seeking approval from others always break us a little. We need to know our worth❤

    the taking space thing and 8th grade shit was relatable and also the dharti fat gaya comments ..boys thiught it was comedic gold. not going down with the whole story ..but this is what happened my friends used to say if i do right side part i will look better this that and i told them but your face wont change you will look the same anyways something like that and it hit me that if i tried ti take less space it wont happpen because i will be the same size anyways so rather than being like a meek ship i ll just stride in confidence and i will have to admit that cinfidence came from watching confident plus size girls around me which also gave me a little push to dress the way i want with the current body i have rather than just waiting to fit in because may be in the streets someone might get the confidence in themselves by watching me like i did..
