Durefishan Saleem Gives Sarcastic Reply to Body Shamers Over Her Weight
Pakistani actress Durefishan Saleem has responded to social media criticism of her weight and muscular arms after facing online trolling over her appearance in the drama serial Dar-e-Nijat.
ISLAMABAD: Popular Pakistani actress Durefishan Saleem has hit back at social media users who mocked her physical appearance, delivering a brief but pointed response to comments about her arms, shoulders and weight.
The controversy emerged after the actress appeared in a sleeveless shirt in the 21st episode of Dar-e-Nijat. While her performance has attracted public attention, her outfit became a topic of discussion online, with some users focusing on the appearance of her arms and shoulders.
The criticism went beyond ordinary comments, as some social media users reportedly used artificial intelligence (AI) tools to edit her photographs, giving her exaggerated muscles and comparing her appearance to professional wrestlers.
In response to the continued remarks about her body, Durefishan shared a video from a look advertisement on her Instagram account and wrote, “Always fit: And that is the tweet.”
Her sarcastic remark quickly drew attention, offering a direct response to those commenting on her appearance without engaging in a prolonged online dispute.
The incident has once again highlighted the issue of body shaming in the entertainment industry, where actors frequently face public scrutiny over their weight, clothing and physical features.
Durefishan’s response has added to the wider conversation about online behaviour and the pressure celebrities face to meet public expectations regarding their appearance. The episode also raises questions about the use of AI-generated image edits to ridicule public figures on social media.
As online platforms continue to shape discussions around celebrities, the incident serves as a reminder that criticism of public performances does not need to become personal attacks on an individual’s body or appearance.
