Shobhaa De's recent tweet fat-shaming Madhya Pradesh's cop Daulat Ram Jogawat simply goes on to tell the world that it is easy to body shame someone. `You're too thin' or `You have become fat' are statements people are often greeted with by those around them, and even strangers online. The concept of being the `right size', which doesn't really exist, has only put pressure on men and women to go to extreme measures to `look' the right size.
And with advent of social media, free advice to `lose weight', `put on weight' or `be less muscu lar' often jams one's timeline. While some have succumbed to it, few oth ers have come back strongly . As did Indo-Canadian stage actress and director, Mallika Angela Chaudhuri. The actress, who moved back to India for work, faced several rejections as she was curvaceous. An unfazed Mallika hit back quite glam orously -she teamed up with G Venket Ram to launch a cal endar featuring men and women in all shapes and sizes, as an answer body shamers.
