9 Women Who Were Mercilessly Shamed On Social Media For Choosing To Wear, Well Clothes
How often do you think women get slut-shamed or body-shamed? The answer — disturbingly often. Even now, while you were reading this article, someone with a mind as narrow as a hair strand would be insulting a woman based on the way she looks or the clothes she wears. And since social media is a convenient way to say whatever comes to your mind, without taking responsibility for your words, sanskari critics are using it their advantage. Body shaming and slut-shaming have become so common that people mostly ignore such comments these days. Because trying to reason with the social media moral police is not the best use of one’s time.
When it comes to slut-shaming, celebrities are the people who have often targeted the most because they are popular and their profiles are public. While some of them choose to stay mum and endure all the insults, a few others stand up for themselves and react against the vulgar judgments. In this article, we will introduce you to 9 women celebrities who were mercilessly shamed on social media for the way they dressed. Read on to know more.

Model Safa Baig, who is also cricketer Irfan Pathan’s wife got trolled because she wore nail colors! She was deemed ‘un-Islamic’ and asked to wear Mehendi instead of nail paint by some trolls.
