Hurtful plastic surgery comments force Ayesha Takia to quit Instagram
Bollywood actor Ayesha Takia has deactivated her Instagram account following a wave of online trolling over her alleged plastic surgeries. The controversy was sparked by a recent photo shared by the Taarzan star, which led to widespread speculation about her appearance. Fans claimed that she looked "unrecognizable" in the image, prompting a flurry of comments questioning if she had undergone any cosmetic procedures.
The viral photo that sparked controversy
The photo that ignited the controversy featured Takia in a blue and golden saree with pink-toned makeup, her hair styled to frame her face. This image was widely circulated on social media platforms, leading to intense scrutiny of the actor's appearance. Despite not confirming any recent cosmetic surgeries, comparisons between her past and present photos fueled further speculation among netizens.
Netizens react to Takia's changed appearance
The viral photo elicited strong reactions from netizens, many of whom expressed shock at the perceived changes in Takia's facial features. One user commented, "No way this Ayesha Takia," adding they had seen her post-surgery but were still unable to recognize her in this photo. Another user questioned the authenticity of the image, asking, "This is a real photo? How on earth?"
Takia's cryptic response to previous backlash
Earlier this year, Takia faced similar criticism for her changed appearance. In response, she posted a cryptic message on social media that read, "You can't control how people perceive your energy. Anything you do or say gets filtered through the lens of whatever they are going through at the moment, which is totally not about you." She also shared a selfie with the caption: "Love and peace."
Takia's career and personal life
Takia gained fame after starring in the Salman Khan-led action thriller, Wanted. Despite her absence from the big screen for several years, she has maintained a strong social media presence. She has also featured in popular films like Taarzan: The Wonder Car, Dil Maange More, Socha Na Tha, Shaadi No 1, Dor, and Pathshaala. In 2009, at age 23, Takia married entrepreneur Farhan Azmi and welcomed a son in 2013.
