Anjali Anand on Dhamaal 4 criticism

Content creator Soumya Dubey shared a clip from one of Anjali Anand's interviews in which the actress said that if someone called her "fat," she would call them "ugly" because such remarks reflected more on the person making them. Reacting to the interview, Dubey pointed out that Anjali's recent film, Dhamaal 4, seemed to contradict that stance. She argued that the actor's character was repeatedly subjected to fat-shaming jokes in the film and questioned why Anjali chose to be part of the project despite advocating body positivity.
