Growing up in India, the idea of a ‘perfect’ woman was often painted with a very specific brush: petite, delicate, easy to ‘manage’. My friends would talk about girls who were “choti aur cute,” and Bollywood, too, seemed to favour heroines who barely reached the hero’s shoulder. But for me, even as a schoolboy, my eyes always gravitated towards the girls who stood out, who towered a little above the rest. It wasn’t a conscious choice, just an undeniable pull, a silent admiration for their stature that felt completely at odds with what everyone else seemed to appreciate. This feeling has only grown stronger with time, becoming a deep, personal preference.
