Pakistani humour and even the jokes made professionally by comedians have a wide variety of body shaming comments. There is a set standard of beauty for both men and women especially if you want to act as the main lead in different projects. One has to have a fair complexion but not too fair, the hair should be long but not too long, the leading ladies need to be thin but not too thin. And if someone goes against even one of the set standards they will be questioned, criticized or ridiculed. That is what Merub Ali has been going through.
Merub had shared in Mooroo’s podcast that she has been struggling a lot with her weight loss as she had a very bad year health wise and lost all her weight.
