Komal Meer has had enough of the internet's comments about her looks and 'weight gain'
Pakistani actress Komal Meer is no stranger to the spotlight.
With standout roles in dramas like Badshah Begum, Wehshi, and Tere Aane Se, the Ae Dil star has quickly climbed the ranks of television fame. But along with fame comes scrutiny, especially online.
Lately, Komal has been the subject of intense speculation over a noticeable 'weight gain,' with internet users ruthlessly commenting on her appearance.
Still as radiant and healthy-looking as ever, she's now speaking up, setting the record straight on Excuse Me, a podcast hosted by Ahmed Ali Butt.
Addressing rumours of cosmetic surgery, Komal responded with honesty and humour: 'I think everyone is having cosmetic procedures. Now normal people are having more procedures than celebrities. I go for my facials and I get shocked to see house wives having treatments and giving hefty bills to aesthetic clinics, but I haven't done anything like this. I swear! I haven't done anything people are seeing my cheeks but aren't seeing my double chin.'
She also called out the fat-shaming she's been receiving online.
'I don't know why people fat shamed me, when I was skinny they did shame me. I don't think so I became fat. I just gained 6 kg. It was for a drama, I did gain for a project but the project has now delayed. Also, I took this character as a motivation and have started eating. It was a good project I wanted to do that and I also wanted to gain weight because I was under weight throughout my life. I have been listening this my whole life. That I need to gain,' she explained.
Meer also stated, "No matter what, our general public is never happy." True that!
To her critics, Komal offered a sharp but graceful message: 'I want to give a message to my trolls that don't be jealous of my weight gain. It's okay, let me breathe, I will go to the gym and tone my body. Just wait and those asking for a diet plan, please wait I will share it soon.'
Let's be honest: women's bodies change and that's perfectly normal.
Even if Komal had opted for a certain cosmetic enhancement (not that it matters), it's her choice, not a call for endless negative commentary.
She still looks stunning, strong, and completely at ease in her skin.
It's incredibly easy to sit behind a screen and tear someone down over their looks, but it says far more about the commenter than the target.
Whether she's gained a few kilos for a role or not, Komal Meer continues to shine and perhaps it's time we let people exist without turning every photo into a referendum on their appearance.
