New Delhi: Actress Ayesha Takia has taken a firm stance against body shaming after facing criticism from trolls following her recent public appearance, which marked her first in years. The actress was photographed at Mumbai airport by paparazzi, stirring reactions from the public.
While some comments were positive, others were insensitive, speculating about changes to her appearance and suggesting she had undergone cosmetic procedures. These hurtful remarks even extended to her private Instagram profile, prompting her to disable comments.
In response, Ayesha Takia took to social media on Sunday to address the issue. She explained that the photos were taken while she was rushing to Goa due to a family medical emergency, with her sister hospitalized. She clarified that she only briefly stopped for the paparazzi before continuing on her way.

The note shared by Ayesha reads as, "Turns out there are no other important issues in the country except dissecting my looks…Been bombarded by viral ridiculous opinions of how ppl think I should have looked and don’t. Literally get over me yaar, I have zero interest in doing any films or any comeback like people are saying. I’m living my life happily, never want to be in the limelight, not interested in any fame, don’t wanna be in any film…So chill."
It further continued, "Please feel free to not care about me at all. Expecting a girl whose mostly been seen in her teens to look identical even after 15 years…How unrealistic and ridiculous are these people…Lol."
The actor gave it back to trolls by saying that they find better things to do with their time rather than "picking apart good looking women." The 'Wanted' actress further added, "I’m blessed with a fabulous life and do not need your opinions, save it for those interested. I’m sending back all your shi**y energy. Do better people, get a hobby, eat a fun meal, talk to your friend, smile, whatever it takes to not feel so unhappy that you need to tell a gorgeous happy woman how she’s not looking like you wanted."
Sharing the post, Ayesha captioned it, "But I'd surely like to thank all my followers, fans, and well wishers... you guys have been so awesome, loving, and amazing to me all the time... so thanku ...sending you love."
