During a promotional event for her movie Others in Chennai, actress Gouri Kishan faced bodyshaming from a journalist. The reporter inquired about her weight and mentioned a scene in which the male lead hoists her, which Gouri deemed offensive and uncalled for.
She labeled the inquiry as "silly" and described the underlying attitude as "a disservice" to journalism. Gouri stressed that bodyshaming should not be normalized and questioned whether similar comments would be made towards a male actor.
Further, Gouri released a statement addressing the widespread issue of bodyshaming and the unrealistic beauty ideals perpetuated within the industry. She asserted that despite being a public figure who is often scrutinized, remarks aimed at a person’s physique or looks are completely unacceptable.
She also pointed out the absence of support from her film team during the situation and wondered why her voice was being stifled, especially as the only woman present. Gouri’s message encourages others to stand against bodyshaming and work collaboratively to end this damaging culture.
This incident has ignited conversations about gender bias and respect in media engagements, underscoring the persistent struggle against unrealistic beauty standards in entertainment.
