This has been going around for a while now – the idea of trolling someone when they wear something that makes them comfortable, especially actresses. Shruti Haasan was recently body-shamed for gaining weight and actress Saranya Mohan was body-shamed for gaining weight [post pregnancy which natural for a new mother. Next in the row seems to be none other than Amala Paul who has been trolled and slut-shamed for wearing clothes that are apparently “too short” and “immoral” although we have no idea how the length of a piece of cloth decides a woman’s morality and dignity.
In her social media, the actress posted a gorgeous picture of herself with an empowering caption that said, “I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me.” The words, however, have been completely ignored as the picture has drawn the attention of numerous trolls who believe Amala shouldn’t be “displaying” her body to get attention.
From pointing out that she has “public responsibilities also” to reminding her that she’s a divorced woman (a marriage that she chose to call off), the comments on the pictures from men and women are yet another example of the misogyny that women in the entertainment industry are subjected to.
