Fat-shaming and body-shaming, especially of people in the fashion and entertainment industry have become a new normal these days. With people having the power to share their opinions with just a click, it has become even more difficult to stay away from such bullies.
Beauty queen Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu, who made us proud by bringing home the Miss Universe 2021 crown is the latest target of trolls body-shaming her for gaining some extra pounds.

Sandhu was recently spotted at the FDCI x Lakme Fashion Week walking the ramp for designer duo Shivan & Narresh wearing a burnt orange floor-length gown with a plunging neckline.

The beauty queen walked the ramp with immense confidence and carried the dress well. However, people online thought the dress didn’t compliment her and that she looked overweight.

Soon after, the comments section was flooded with body shamers sharing their unsolicited opinions on her appearance.
But thankfully, there were also some who came in support of her and gave body shamers the taste of their own medicine.
Last year, people body-shamed Kareena Kapoor Khan for her Lakme Fashion Week look. How conveniently people brushed their accomplishments under the carpet and shamed them for gaining weight. This mentality is sick for crying out loud.
