Kapuso star Shaira Diaz admits that despite being one of the big stars in primetime television, she still feels insecure. Read her story as she shares her thoughts and her feelings about body positivity,
At some point in our lives, we've all experienced body insecurities, whether it's over acne or our battle with the bulge.
It is the culprit that holds us back and steals the joy away from living our lives.
The same goes with Kapuso star Shaira Diaz.
Whenever we see her onscreen and on social media, we are amazed by how she confidently carries herself, as she exudes grace and charm in every way.
But behind this, she cannot deny the fact that she always finds herself down in the mouth when it comes to her physical appearance.
"Pagpupunta ako ng beach, kailangan ko mag-diet, kailangan ko paghandaan.
"'Yung beach photos ko nga sobrang bihira lang talaga, pang IG lang talaga," the Love You Two actress tells GMANetwork.com.
Shaira, who describes herself as conservative, admits she's too conscious to show some skin.
"Siguro, choice ko din kasi hindi ako 'yung taong pa-sexy dahil na rin sa personality ko, may showing ng skin pero wholesome pa rin.
"Parang hindi pa ko handa sa mga daring din na mga pose so hanggang do'n lang ako."
She also recounts her experience where she felt uncomfortable doing bikini scenes for her movie Because I Love You.

"First time ko mag-bikini sa film, actually, ayoko ko nga po.
"Nakita n'yo naman, 'di ako ready, pero para sa movie, sige.
"Napaghandaan naman kahit papaano kahit hindi ako masyadong confident," she shares.
Little by little, Shaira learned not to let her insecurities consume her and accepts all of her flaws.
"Gusto ko ring tanggalin sa katawan ko 'yung hiya," she says.
"Medyo hindi ako confident [magpakita ng skin] kasi marami akong insecurities sa katawan.
"So mas gusto ko 'yung tina-try kong aralin, kaya kong magbikini, kaya kong mag-pose ng ganito, kaya kong hindi i-edit 'yung picture ko.
"Ang pangit sa feeling 'pag forever ka na lang insecure at hindi confident," Shaira adds.
