It’s been quite some time since people got to see the Bollywood’s chocolate boy Fardeen Khan who gave few hits like ‘Jungle’, ‘Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya’, ‘No Entry’ etc. The actor hasn’t been in the limelight after his last movie ‘Dulha Mil Gaya, six years ago.

Fardeen Khan has now made a comeback, but this time, it’s on social media and he’s getting trolled. Fardeen Khan, one of the best-looking actors that the Indian film industry boasted of has gained a lot of weight lately. With a noticeable double chin and a pronounced belly, Fardeen Khan no longer looks like the actor who made his acting debut in 90’s .

A recent picture of the actor, posted by one of Fardeen Khan’s fan clubs on Twitter has surfaced online giving Twitter trolls their new prey. Here’s how twitter has taken a toll on the actor.

Though the actor was trolled, thankfully, many also spoke up in his defence condemning body shamers.

Why is everyone body shaming Fardeen Khan now? He put on weight. Big deal. Get over it.

We don’t body shame women post pregnancy, then why body shame Fardeen Khan. His life his pizza. So be it.

You do realize making fun of Fardeen Khan’s weight gain amounts to body shaming right. Imagine the outrage if it was an actress.

Forget Fardeen Khan, even you guys were cute 20 years ago.

Everyone making fun of Fardeen Khan pls note that he’s recently lost his father, and has (had?) a massive drug problem. some empathy is ok.

Body Shaming Fardeen Khan? You don’t know the reason why he gained weight, even if you know he didn’t take your money to eat.

Read a few horrible, extremely nasty tweets on Fardeen Khan for gaining weight. Twitter can be such a ruthless medium, how sad! #BodyShaming

However, it’s such a pity of people trolling and making humour on actor’s gaining weight. The very fact that an actor putting on weight is a source of humour or validation for us is a very troubling trend.
