Actor Avinash Tiwary recently found himself at the receiving end of a body-shaming comment from Pakistani costume designer Rao Ali Khan, who criticised his 'belly fat' in some of his projects. The actor responded strongly, telling the designer Khan to focus on the craft rather than judging others' physical appearances. Avinash Tiwary recently wrapped up the shoot of Ginny Weds Sunny 2. Avinash Tiwary reacts to the comment The conversation between Avinash and Rao Ali Khan took place on Instagram several days ago. It has resurfaced on Reddit and is now gaining traction online.

Avinash responded to him, saying, 'Sir, you are a journalist. If you had done any research you would know it was for the part…I suggest get beyond the idea of just vanity for cinema. Thank you.'

As per the Instagram bio, Rao Ali Khan is a celebrity stylist, costume designer and writer for a magazine. Social media users are praising Avinash for shutting down Rao Ali Khan's body-shaming comment with dignity. 'A rude response to body-shaming isn't necessarily unjustified. It's strange how people demand perfection and patience from those who are mocked for their appearance, simply because they are famous. Insults are thrown around casually, but any reaction is immediately criticised as arrogance,' one wrote. Another shared, 'Love him for this, he's an artist through it all. And it definitely adds with the realism, seen some grounded films where the lead has abs and muscles while working all day on a sh***y desk job with a sh***y diet. Always takes me out.' 'You are perfect the way you are no need to loose any weight and we love you in your every form and phase can't wait for your upcoming project lots of love,' wrote one, with another asking, '@raoalikhan why are you so obsessed with his weight? Worry bout yourself brother.' About Avinash In Khakee: The Bihar Chapter, he was seen in the role of an elusive criminal, Chandan Mahto. When it comes to Bambai Meri Jaan, Avinash, along with Kay Kay Menon, played the lead roles of an honest cop and his son Dara, who wants to be Mumbai's top gangster. Avinash has carved a niche for himself with his work in films and web series such as Laila Majnu, Bulbbul, Madgaon Express, Sikandar Ka Muqaddar, Khakee: The Bihar Chapter, Bambai Meri Jaan and Kaala.

Shashi Tharoor's Nephew Tries To Find Out ‘Weird Stuff In His Mind' — FOMO Hits Indians
Shashi Tharoor's witty video with his nephew leads to fans asking about entering the Tharoor family, while others said that the laughter was like 'Shakespearan English!!' Shashi Tharoor is known for his sharp answers and rarely makes mistakes on the global stage. But recently, his nephew Avinash caught him in an awkward moment. Tharoor shared a video where Avinash asked him quick questions. At first, the politician answered easily and confidently. But things changed when his nephew asked why he didn't give him a gift on his 10th birthday, while his brother got an expensive present. This question made Tharoor pause and find it hard to answer. In the clip shared by Tharoor on Instagram, his nephew asked, 'I'm in a pretty fancy hotel room here with my uncle. I feel like the public doesn't know enough about all the weird stuff going on in his mind." Avinash starts the session by asking, 'If you had to be an animal, which one would you be?" Shashi Tharoor replied, 'A lion because of its strength, its majesty, its sense of command and power, but that's almost a typical political answer." Avinash then asked Tharoor, 'Which city do you think has the best food?" Tharoor replied, 'Tough one, Thiruvananthapuram, I think is the answer." Avinash smiled and said he expected that, then added, 'Which city has the second-best food?" Tharoor said, 'No 2 in many ways is Delhi. My years in New York gave me a variety of cuisine you can't see anywhere else on the planet." For the next question, Shashi Tharoor was not prepared at all. His nephew Avinash asked, 'For my 10th birthday, you didn't give me anything, but you gave my brother a Game Boy. Why?" Tharoor was seen laughing. While trying to handle the awkward moment, he replied, 'I guess he must have been with me on his birthday and you weren't. I certainly got you so many years, young man, and I'll make up for it next time." In the caption, the politician wrote, 'My regular London morning of tea and the newspaper came with an unexpected addition: a quiz from my nephew Avinash." Reacting to the post, a user wrote, 'The man is a masterclass of grace: 'I'll make up for it the next time.' Only Shashi Tharoor knows how to win hearts in response to the pettiest questions." Another shared, 'Guy laughs in Shakespeare." 'What is the procedure to come into the Tharoor family?" a comment read. An individual stated, 'First time I hear stammer a little when grilled by his nephew on having missed his gift on the 10th Birthday." Another mentioned, 'Mr Tharoor again enchanting us by his eloquence, exuberantly flabbergasted." Shashi Tharoor's nephew also asked about hangover cures, but the politician smoothly dodged it, saying he doesn't know such things. tags : shashi tharoor viral news view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
