Vidya Balan has always assumed a rather matter-of-factly approach when it comes to discussing the oppressive beauty standards that actors are held to. The actor's latest public appearance for the special screening of Kartik Aaryan's Chandu Champion has led the internet to speculate over what appears to be a significant weight loss journey in the works as Vidya gears up to star in Diwali release Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3.
Videos of Vidya walking the red carpet for the special screening of Chandu Champion have gone viral and not for the right reasons. The internet appears to be convinced that the actor has once again embarked on a weight loss journey, the results of which are showing rather evidently. However, those speculating believe how the weight loss per se, may not be authentic. One strongly worded comment read, "Sare bol re patli hogi ... Aaj kal medical treatment se boht kuch ho jata hai .. sab paise ka khel hai ... Ye log kuch hi dino may slim ho jate hai 🤣or hum jo bhi karle salo sal motte se motte hi hote ja re hai .." Another added, "Are ye palti hogyi. Without workout wahhh" Another internet user speculated, “She's probably had a gastric band surgery.”
Some in particular pointed out how after affirming that she is in fact comfortable with her body the way it is, Vidya has once again opted to whittle down in size. A comment echoing this sentiment read, "She is looking so slim ...later she used to defend that she won't lose and look at her now 😭😭" Some comments however, were a tad bit more supportive, much like this one which read, “Look at you vidya! You look so beautiful! What prevented you from losing weight?!”
