'Your body is allowed to change' Naimal Khawar speaks out against how society criticizes women's bodies.

An actor says that weight, age, and motherhood can change women's bodies, and these changes should not be open to public comment.

Actor and artist Naimal Khawar spoke against the harsh online criticism of women's bodies. She asked social media users to stop treating normal body changes as public topics. 

Khawar, known for her role in Anaa and her paintings, posted on Instagram after sharing a post that guessed about her look at a recent wedding. People online asked if she had gained weight or was pregnant. 

She wrote in an Instagram story: 'It's honestly amazing and sad how okay people are with commenting on a woman's body. Yes, my weight can change. Yes, I don't look the same as I did five years ago. Yes, motherhood changes you in ways you can't imagine.'

Khawar, who is married to actor Hamza Ali Abbasi and had their son in 2020, said that body changes are normal in life, not something for people to comment on. She wrote, 'Women's bodies change with age, hormones, stress, health, lifestyle, and sometimes pregnancy too. None of these are reasons for public comments.' 

For women who face similar judgment, Khawar gave a reassuring message: 'You don't need to have the same body as five years ago, last year, or even last month. Your body can change without becoming a topic of entertainment.'

Khawar's comments come as people in Pakistan's entertainment world talk more about how female stars are heavily judged for how they look. 

Actor Kubra Khan recently discussed the industry's strict beauty standards after online criticism of her role with Shuja Asad in the drama Doctor Bahu. Some viewers harshly trolled Khan, commenting on her age and weight compared to her co-star. 

Khan said, 'The problem in our industry and culture is that there's a very narrow mold that not everyone fits into, and sadly, I'm one of those people who don't fit.'

She also said that women shouldn't have to fit a certain body type to be called beautiful. "I'm not a size zero. People think you have to be thin, tall, and have nice hair to be pretty. If you don't match that, you're not good enough," she said. 

Khan said she gained weight naturally as she worked, but felt happier after picking her health over impossible industry standards.

"At the end of the day, I am human, and I will grow. I will change. There will be different seasons in my life, and that's okay," she said, pushing for being the healthiest version of yourself instead of fitting into a random standard.

Earlier, actor Sanam Jung also talked about body-shaming, especially in her show Pyari Mona, which looked at the life of an overweight woman dealing with people's judgments. Sharing a scene from the show again, Jung called out how common it is to judge people by how they look.

Every day, we make people feel bad about being who they are and how they look," Jung wrote on Instagram. "It's time to move on and look beyond looks. Let's stop bullying, body-shaming, and putting each other down. Live and let live."

 The stories from Khawar, Khan, and Jung show a bigger problem about how women in the public eye are judged, where weight, age, and appearance can become topics of constant online talk.

 Khawar's message reminds us that bodies change naturally over time, and such changes don't need explanation, justification, or public approval.
