Keerthy Suresh’s Weight Is Everyone’s Problem. You Can’t Be Too Fat, Or Too Skinny. What Nonsense!

For an actress, because you’re in the public eye, everything is up for judgement. The way you dress, how you look, where you are, how much clothing you are wearing and of course, your weight. If you think this is about body shaming, about someone having too much weight, you would be wrong. This about having too little weight. Yes, as Keerthy Suresh recently discovered, there isn’t winning.

The 26-year-old actress is in Spain to shoot for her latest movie and uploaded a picture of her in a bathrobe on a balcony. You’d expect that the comments would be about how pretty she looks, how it looks like a perfect vacation picture etc. etc. Nope, she put the picture up and the comment section was filled with people concerned about her having lost too much weight and how she needs to put it back on.

Why are random people worried about her weight? Isn’t it up to her how she chooses to look? These are the same questions that are plaguing us too. People are asking her all sorts of questions. For example, “Y u became so much lean” asks someone and gets plenty of likes on her comment. Another user said, “Please gain weight again” and again, had plenty of likes on her comment. If you were like, hey, mind your own business about it, allows us to explain why they leave their two cents on the picture. Because they are “concerned.” Worried even, because if Keerthy has more happy hormones due to her weight loss, then this personally affects them. And if she were to have some sort of health issue, she’s definitely going to call them first.

But there is context to this conversation. Keerthy has been previously sporting a full, more rounded figure – one that fans loved. She’s lost weight for a role and we say, good on her. Her previous roles in movies like Mahanati and Sarkar have got her quite the fan following and apparently, if she decides to get fitter, this is our problem. On the work front,  her next movie is Marakkar: Arabikadalinte Simham and Manmadhudu 2 in which she has a cameo but it’s a long one so we aren’t even sure it can be called that.
