Avinash Tiwary shuts down body-shaming with classy comeback on Instagram

Actor Avinash Tiwary recently called out a Pakistani writer and celebrity stylist for body-shaming him on social media, and did so with poise and purpose. The exchange began when Rao Ali Khan, a self-proclaimed stylist and commentator, left unsolicited remarks on one of Avinash's Instagram posts.

Referring to the actor's physique in two of his recent shows, Khan commented: "Loved Bombay Meri Jaan. Was thinking why do you have belly fat in Khakhee and Bombay Meri Jaan both. Happy to see fitter body – super super." In another comment, he added: "Loved Bombay Meri Jaan but pls loose [sic] weight and look fit."

The remarks were quickly picked up by fans and social media users, many of whom found them unnecessary and disrespectful. Avinash, however, chose not to ignore them. Instead, he responded with a dignified yet pointed reply: "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."

This comes days after Avinash opened up on being relevant as an actor and shedding the OTT tag. In a chat with IANS, Avinash said, “The OTT actor tag only happened because there was COVID, but I was looking to do theatricals. Last year, I was doing a couple of films, which didn't take off. That's when I realised I need to take control of things to create a distinction that says I'm not just only on one platform."

Speaking of the professional front, the 39-year-old actor recently wrapped shooting for Ginny Wedss Sunny 2, wherein he will be seen sharing the screen space with Medha Shankr.
