Salman Khan has come out strongly against online trolling and body shaming following criticism faced by his ex-co-star Katrina Kaif over her post-pregnancy appearance. His comments on Bigg Boss 20 have now gone viral, and Salman Khan is being called “Pookie” for speaking out against the criticism.
In the latest episode of Weekend Ka Vaar, Salman Khan talked about the criticism that women face after pregnancy. Though he didn't mention any names, the actor’s comments came in response to the criticism Katrina faced after appearing at Ganpati celebrations in Mumbai.
Salman asked why people were trolling women after pregnancy and said that there is always weight gain during and after pregnancy. He also said that Katrina could return to acting once she feels comfortable and that perhaps she would like to spend some time with her family.
The comments soon went viral on social media, where some people referred to Salman Khan as a “green flag,” while others appreciated him for raising his voice against body-shaming. The actor also responded to trolling about his age and appearance.
In the TV programme, Salman removed his hat and T-shirt, wiped off his makeup, and challenged people who criticise celebrities based on their appearance. Moreover, he also mentioned the trolling faced by his brother Sohail Khan and actor Varun Dhawan.
He also commented on the paparazzi and the way they take photographs of actresses, particularly focusing on their body parts. He suggested that women should protest if they find such photographs uncomfortable.
The issue has also received support from several other celebrities, including Neha Dhupia, Kunal Kohli, and Monalisa, who shared their views on Salman’s comments on social media. Business Honor observes that Salman Khan’s comments have brought renewed attention to the way celebrities, particularly women after pregnancy, are discussed and photographed online.
