On Friday, actor Fatima Sana Shaikh took to Instagram to share a beautiful photo of her sitting by a river. While most of her fans showered her with positive comments, a certain troll was quick to body shame her instead.
Fatima captioned here photo: “aj kal me dhal gaya, din hua tamam../ Tu bhi soja so gayi rang bhari sham”
An Instagram user was quick to body-shame the actor by asking her to cover herself.
Here’s what he said: “Aap ku log jo bolre wo sahi bolre zara apna badan ku chupao please i will request u aap musalman hai zara samjho aap please dusrao ku block kardere aap nai karna aisa kya patta kisi ki baat sunle to jannat ka zariya banjai wo aap ke liye . Agar aap ku kuch bolra laga tu mafi chatao.” (Whatever people are telling you, it’s correct. Please cover your body as you’re a Muslim. Please understand and don’t block people in case you end up listening to what someone has to say and that person ends up becoming your reason for going to heaven)
Fatima too didn’t stop herself from responding. She immediately shut him down by saying that it’s her life and her rules. “aur mere dost. You are blocked..Mah badan, mah rulz.. Your Gamla, your phool.” (And my friend. You are blocked. My body my rules. Your pot, your flowers).
In April, Fatima Sana Shaikh had taken to Instagram to share the poster of her upcoming project Bhoot Police, alongside Ali Fazal and Saif Ali Khan. Bhoot Police will be a horror comedy. The actor was last seen in Thugs of Hindustan and before that, Dangal.
