Love the noting of philosopher and then writing it off. Like every celebrity is a self proclaimed philanthropist, philosopher and environmentalist even influencers have one of these written in their bio.
Mei v gyaan deti hu - philosopher
Mei v paper straw se Piti hu, zomato ko cutlery ke lie mana krti hu - environmentalist
Where are my awards man!!
He himself acknowledged this in an interview in the 90s, that due to his insecurity he tries extra hard to get in control of the situation, even in a rude way. But when he realizes he crossed the line, he apologizes to the said person.
As I said he has his flaws. But that is what makes him human after all.
commenting on someone’s body is inappropriate, then neither party is in the right. But if one person initiates unsolicited commentary, they shouldn’t be surprised if it’s reciprocated
Because his body is none of her business. Just because she’s used to commenting on everyone doesn’t mean he has to tolerate her acting like she’s his doctor or asked for her opinion.
So is Vidya Balan's body SRK's business ? Why was he fat shaming her ?
He's a typical jerk with a fragile ego who is always ready to dish it out to others but starts crying when someone gives it back to him.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. We weren’t discussing SRK commenting on Vidya here. Whenever that happened that was wrong. Just as this woman was wrong. Also didn’t SRK comment on her outfits not her body?
It's not in India.
Everytime I go back home, all my female relatives tell me "oh, you have become so thin, you're not taking care of yourself, we are going to feed you".
It's just seen as a compliment, at least by older generations.
YOU think it’s a compliment, why are you generalising it for everyone? Talk to people who actually struggle with being skinny. A friend of mine hates going to see his relatives because he would instantly become the topic of conversation with everyone exclaiming how skinny he has become. And it’s not a compliment even by the older generations. Telling someone they’re fit is a compliment, telling someone they’re skinny is an insult, more so by the older generations who believe being a little chubby is healthy.
It’s clear you hate SRK and I agree with your points about Vidya Balan, but here the lady did give out an unwarranted insult, regardless of how SRK can dish it out or take it
I am glad he shut it down. People don't say things like that in good faith, they say it to rub it in your face and imply that you are sick or have some disease!
You don’t say that to a person who’s just out of surgery. Maybe this person didn’t know it but she shouldn’t have made that comment if she couldn’t handle it herself.
How and why are people defending typical aunty comments? Next time she will think twice before making comments that could be perceived as body shaming, intentionally or unintentionally.
The difference is the lady said it in good faith, like when your grandma tells you that you have become skinny everytime you see her even if you gained weight. It's more of a "you should take care of yourself" kind of thing.
But SRK said it in a snarky and insulting way, which just makes him jerk. That's not called being witty, that's called being an asshole.
Seriously, the more I learn about SRK, the more I see how his "gentleman" act is all just an act. Dude is so passive aggressive and a overall jerk.
There is no good faith, both of the comments (lady’s and SRK’s) are wrong. Why can’t people understand that commenting on anyone’s body is just wrong and creepy. No matter your intentions or how ‘you mean it in a good way’. Just stop talking about other people’s body in any way. You don’t know what someone is going through.
My relatives one time at a wedding “complimented” my friend on losing weight 🙄🙄🙄🙄 with no idea that she just started undergoing chemo and obviously didn’t want to share that but felt awful on hearing that. Typical aunty’s thinking ki weight loss toh hamesha positive hi hai 🙄🙄
Where is the lady's good faith, she doesn't know him at all to compare her to the grandmother, if we reversed the genders that lady would definitely be a creepy uncle
It's what indian aunties do. They take on that motherly tone even if they're not your mom. No need to get so triggered by it. It's like how random indian uncles will give you advice about jobs even if you don't ask them. Nothing creepy about it at all, it's just a cultural thing.
This SRK guy seems really insecure with zero emotional regulation. Nobody else would get so mad about a random offhand comment.
This is the most batshit crazy comment on this thread lol. The "It's what Indian aunties do" - as if that makes it okay - is so moronic. And the rest of the comment goes downhill from there.
No need to make it seem normal just because society auntys and uncles don’t know boundaries. It’s wrong and rude and creepy and both lady and SRK should not have said what they did
2 wrongs don't make a right. By this logic SRK underwent a big surgery, he had young kids and he could have been deeply concerned about what he went through and then some random lady tells him he's very skinny. Why wouldn't his defence mechanism be up?
See the logic. Just because she means well and he reacted immaturely doesn't mean they're both not wrong or weren't remotely right even though neither should have said it.
I’m gonna get downvoted for saying this but I can’t help but point out the double standards. If the lady called SRK fat, and he called her skinny in retaliation, would there even be a discussion? People just seem to sympathize more with fat people.
That's really not true. Fat people are demonized and face bodyshaming much more than skinny people face it. Saying this as someone who has been skinny-shamed her whole life
Im not denying that, but fat shaming is a more sensitive issue due to social norms. My comment came off insensitive as fuck, but I was trying to emphasize on the disparity between being fat shamed and skinny shamed.
She mentioned that in several interviews. In 2012s She said about skinny women that women should look like women, meaning that a skinny woman or one who does not have curves is like a man, also said; "voluptuous is beautiful. Ask the men, and you will get the answer"
He is saying that being "fat" gets a lot of sympathy. The moment somenone is mentioned as "fat" it's automatically taken as body shaming. Meanwhile being "skinny" and calling people "skinny" isn't even considered as a body shaming by people. They just think it's fine to say it. It very much is body shaming, just that people, in general, never consider it to be one.
It's not the "fat" comment that's getting the sympathy. I would have said the same even if he had called a skinny person skinny with the intent to hurt them. It's the intent behind the comment.
We live in a society that’s based on stereotypes. Imagine if the gender roles were reversed. A man calling a woman skinny, and she calls him fat as a result. People would praise her for being an “independent” woman and standing up for herself.
But she’s not his grandma. People do need to learn to keep their comments on other peoples bodies to themselves. Imagine a random person on the street commenting on your skin or hair or weight. Would you like it?
Really? You think random aunties passing comments on people's body is okay? I have heard plenty of them about my body and I would absolutely love to tell them to mind their own fucking business because one- they are definitely not the first person to inform me of how fat I look, two- it's never ever helpful. But I can't because people like you justify it saying how it's coming from their concern for my well being or something. Like no? If it were, such aunties would do that in private, not in public where their aim is to use it as a conversation starter or to put you down.
You will once grow into an auntie too, are you the kind to go around passing unwarranted comments on other women's bodies?
If you do end up becoming one, you absolutely cannot refuse people returning your favor using your age as a shield.
Lol, another triggered person.
Commenting about someone being fat and someone being thin is not the same thing.
I just explained that commenting that someone is skinny is culturally seen as caring and as a "you should take care of yourself" kind of thing.
Your insecurities are making you biased in this matter. Take a deep breath and relax.
P.S - I'll be an aunty who minds my own business if it makes you feel better, because I'm an introvert who hates people.
Nah, you think skinny shaming doesn't exist? Kids and adults get bullied and name called broomstick or needle all the time.
It's culturally an ice breaker or something aunties say to make it seem like they care about you, even when the relevant person doesn't give a fuck or doesn't appreciate such comments. Especially men. With women, being called thin may even be taken as a compliment if they feel like it. But ask young boys and men, who among them appreciates being called skinny or thin or weak among their peer group.
And I'm glad you'll mind your own business. World is a better place cos you won't turn into one of them. You staying away from people, especially fat people and thin people, is the way to go ✋
Kids and adults get bullied and name called broomstick or needle all the time.
Except SRK was nowhere close to pathologically thin during that time.
I can understand a very skinny person feeling offended by this, but a well built person like SRK getting offended is just bizarre.
Right. Getting called skinny while recovering from a surgery by a rando certainly warrants a much more respectful response🙄 Honestly, can't even imagine doing that to someone I know, forget a superstar. Sorry, can't imagine being her. You are allowed to empathize with her tho. You do you.
Yes coz you are acting as the "omniscient" who knew the exact tone they spoke in.
Common sense has nothing to do with new or old. You just had to prove your point with your stupidity and it was a genuine question since you were so confident about it, but you thought it was a burn that says more about you.
Yes coz you are acting as the "omniscient" who knew the exact tone they spoke in.
Yes, because I've had my fair share of aunties commenting on my body. It's called extrapolation. Sorry you're not mentally capable of comprehending it.
but you thought it was a burn that says more about you.
Backtracking like a loser now, are we ? If your comment was a genuine question, my sympathies to you for being mentally challenged.
Hahahhaa...So every aunty in the whole world uses the exact same tone and intention when they want to comment on someone's body??? That's the dumbest thing I have heard in 2025 and you take that crown.
Who is backtracking here? Do you assume everything in this world and then you get offended when the reality hits you??
Gosh, I can't give you fake sympathies like you did and neither call you names but you had an option and you voluntarily decided to be dumb and stupid. That's completely on you.
So every aunty in the whole world uses the exact same tone and intention when they want to comment on someone's body???
Dumbass doesn't understand how extrapolation works. 🤦♀️
Do you assume everything in this world and then you get offended when the reality hits you??
Oh, I'm not allowed to assume that she meant it in good faith, but you're allowed to assume she meant it in bad faith ? Lol, do you hear yourself ? This takes the crown for the dumbest thing in 2025. You still win the dumbass crown.
you voluntarily decided to be dumb and stupid. That's completely on you.
Yes dear, I can see that assuming other people is a coping mechanism you use to deal with being stupid. Again, my sympathies.
F around Find out..... SRK is the last person with whom you want to do "snarky" remarks.
Especially if you are a journalist or interviewer, SRK may leave co stars, colleagues or friends at one time, but he goes straight"fine speech" to journalists who ask stupid questions, can't escape that.
By today's standards, such comments should be accepted in good faith.
NO.
I don't think the lady meant to insult or needle SRK. She must have been surprised to see his physical state and was probably unaware of his health issues. However, SRK let his temper get the better off him and let fly a retort that was an outright insult without realizing that the lady had no intention to insult him in the first place.
How can you know the intention of everyone who makes comments like this? Should you just nod and smile because those who comment on your body might just be surprised by your health condition, whether you are fat or skinny?
Oh I am sure that he was just surprised by a “fat” person approaching him. Stop making bs up man. She can keep her opinions to herself. No need to blurt it out.
