So when an internet user mocked her appearance by calling her “fat,” she confronted him directly and firmly opposed body-shaming.
Anjali Anand faces insult online
In a recent Instagram post, a man rejected the term “curvy” and labeled her “fat” instead. Rather than brushing off the rude remark, Anjali hit back directly. She fired off a witty, pointed reply: “I know I am fat. Same way you know you are bald.” The actress further continued, “Mote ko mota bolte hai, takle ko takla. Aap samajh gaye ki aur samjhaun? Mujhe pata hai main moti, jaise aap ko pata hai aap takle ho (They call a fat person fat, and a bald person bald. You understand that, or should I explain more? I know that I’m fat, just like you know that you’re bald).”
She posted a screenshot of the exchange on her stories, captioning it, “They also call me UNF–KWITHABLE. Stay away!”.
