Our favourite fashion influencer Komal Pandey turned 29 on June 18, and she threw the craziest birthday party! The diva hosted a Barbie-themed party and looked stunning in an orange co-ord set that came with a body-hugging skirt and a tiny top. Komal proudly bared her midriff, and she looked confident like always. But as usual, trolls found a way to criticise the birthday girl.
Komal took to Instagram and posted the cutest images from her bash. While her supporters showered her with praise and sweet wishes, another section of the internet called her derogatory terms like “anorexic” and “malnourished.” One user wrote, “At this point, Komal’s obsession with her stomach is really unhealthy. She does everything in her power to make her torso look taller. She has some serious body image issues.”
Some netizens also accused Komal of purposely sucking her stomach in and pointed out her rib cage. They called the influencer out for promoting an unhealthy body image among the youth. One user wrote:
While the internet was attacking her, Komal smacked them with the ultimate response! She penned a long note on her Instagram story about living a “highly health-conscious lifestyle” and having a “dedicated nutritionist who carefully designs her diet.” She also stated that she exercises on a regular basis and is guided by an expert trainer.
She wrote, “It is important to understand that everyone’s body is unique and responds differently to various lifestyles. It is very important to avoid making assumptions or using derogatory terms such as anorexic or suggesting that I may have an eating disorder. Such labels/false claims are hurtful.”
Well, Komal Pandey has always been a skinny person, and she appears to live a fully healthy lifestyle. While she may be thin, she is far from frail. It is past time for the internet to learn to be happy for a person. It is sad how Komal had to face body-shaming even on her birthday. But we’re glad she doesn’t let these comments effect her and that she clapped back with an even stronger response. You go, girl!
