Gouri Kishan Speaks Out Against Bodyshaming at Film Event

Actress Gouri Kishan faced bodyshaming from a journalist during a promotional event for her film Others in Chennai. The journalist questioned her about her body weight and referenced a scene where the male lead lifts her, which Gouri called inappropriate and offensive.

In response, Gouri condemned the question as "stupid" and the attitude behind it "a disgrace" to journalism. She urged that bodyshaming should not be normalized and questioned whether such a comment would be directed toward a male actor in the same aggressive manner.

Gouri later issued an official statement highlighting the prevalence of bodyshaming and unrealistic beauty standards in the industry. She emphasized that while scrutiny is part of being a public figure, comments targeting a person’s body or appearance are unacceptable.

She also criticized the lack of support from her film team during the incident and questioned why she was being silenced despite being the only woman present. Gouri’s statement encourages others to speak up against bodyshaming and work toward ending this cycle.

The incident has sparked discussions about gender bias and respect in media interactions, highlighting the ongoing challenge of unrealistic beauty expectations in entertainment.
