Gouri Kishan Shuts Down Body-Shaming at Press Meet

Gouri Kishan: During a recent film promotion press conference, actress Gouri G. Kishan gave a brave and composed answer to a vlogger who tried to body shame her. With all the prevailing discussions on body positivity and professionalism in the film industry, the event has since become a sensation.

The Question That Crossed the Line

During the press meet, a YouTuber inquired about Gouri’s weight-a query clearly improper and unrelated to the occasion. Astonished yet composed, Gouri quickly called out the question, stating it was “foolish and unnecessary.” She questioned why actresses were expected to conform to unreal standards, asking pointedly, “Do all heroines have to be thin?”
Gouri stood firm, stating that it was a “bad question” and had no use in a professional setting even after the vlogger tried to defend it. Many admired her composure yet strong posture.

Gouri Kishan Reply: Mixed Reviews and Industry Silence

Interestingly, director Abin Hariharan and actor Aditya Madhavan, seated alongside Gouri, apparently kept quiet during the conversation. Without directly responding to the comment, they were observed attempting to de-escalate the circumstances.
In the meantime, Chinmayi Sripada, a vocalist, openly applauded Gouri for opposing body-shaming, admiring her bravery and clarity.

A Confidence Message

Many people have praised Gouri Kishan’s forceful reply as a reminder that especially in the film industry respect and dignity must continue to be at the center of all public contacts.
