New Delhi: Till last decade, actor Fardeen Khan was a crush of many. His chocolate boy looks made him a sensation when the star kid entered Bollywood.
But, that has changed drastically. A recent picture of a bulky Fardeen surfaced on the Internet a few days ago and many netizens found it really hard to digest.
Fardeen was in Lucknow with sister Laila to attend the 'shraadh' ceremony of Subrata Roy's mother. He was clicked wearing white kurta, pyajama and the tremendous weight gain left his fans aghast.
The actor, whose last on screen outing was six years go in ‘Dulha Mil Gaya’, has been striggling weight gain for quite some time now. According to media reports, he hired a celebrity trainer in London for the same. Apparently, he also lost 12 kgs in 3 months in 2014; but it seems he has gained it all over again.
Many took to micro blogging website Twitter to fat shame him. Here are a few tweets of people who had a good laugh seeing Fardeen.
However, there was a lot who revealed the hypocrisy of body shamers. Many on Twitter said, that since it is an actor the trolls are not getting a befitting answer. Only if, it would have been an actress, the amount of outrage on such comments would have been unparallel.
Well, maybe it is time we understood that body shaming of nay kind is not welcome. So, Fardeen gained weight, big deal? Is body shaming only offensive when it comes to women? Time to ponder!
