Why Does Being Skinny Define Being Beautiful? Ft. Farah Khan's Weight Loss

Bollywood’s ace choreographer and director, Farah Khan recently lost oodles of weight. This has the internet going crazy over her new skinnier version. Her Instagram handle is literally buzzing with comments on how her weight loss has unveiled her all-new beautiful self. This brings us to think about how society almost creepily defines standards of beauty and body image. The construct of a lean person being the epitome of good looks is a standard etched in stone. So any human being who is anything other than skinny is definitely not pretty according to the defined hallmark standards.

Hence, this deep-rooted societal stereotyping that weight loss is synonymous with being a beautiful human being is damaging not just for peoples’ bodies but also their psyches.

Making a certain body type the definition of beauty is very restrictive and doesn’t allow room within humanity for embracing inclusion and celebrating the different body types the human race can possess. This is truly reflective of a deeper than ever stereotype that simply says that fat is ugly and slim is beautiful.

However, the comments section was full of comments from friends and the public appreciating her weight loss. Zoya Akhtar commented on how nice Farah looks and the queen of fitness Shilpa Shetty made a similar remark. Members of the public also commented that she has lost much weight and is now ready to be cast in a Bollywood movie. In light of these developments, it certainly shows us where our society’s opinions are headed and it is leading us to become a non-body positive and exclusionary race of humans.
