A young woman very sarcastically makes it a point why Kate Winslet's 'no-photoshop' clause in her new contract is so important.
A young woman very sarcastically makes it a point to ask why Kate Winslet’s ‘no-photoshop’ clause in her new contract is so important.
Why is it a big deal that Kate Winslet has asked for a ‘no-Photoshop’ clause? With skin as flawless as hers and the kind of body she still has, which is to kill for, even though she is 40, she hardly needs Photoshop. What she needs is some humility when it comes to flaunting her beauty. And the same goes for all the actresses, all these fair skinned, super skinny babes, who say they don’t want to advertise fairness creams or go overboard with dieting. Obviously, they’re mocking me and millions others like us. And, of course, as we learned in our school cliques, it’s the beautiful, tall girls who are popular, not the plain, fat, boring girls like me.
Although, Deepika Padukone does speaks of fighting with depression, or Priyanka Chopra of being racially discriminated as a school girl or Sonam Kapoor getting dumped because of fat and high body hair growth.

UP Boards Topper Prachi Nigam was trolled on social media for her facial hair; our obsession with appearance is harsh on young minds.
Prachi Nigam’s photo has been doing the rounds on social media for the right reasons. Well, scratch that- I wish the above statement were true. This 15-year-old girl should ideally be revelling in her spectacular achievement of scoring a whopping 98.05% and topping her tenth-grade boards. But oddly enough, along with her marks, it’s something else that garners more attention – her facial hair.
While the trolls are driving themselves giddy by mocking this girl who hasn’t even completed her school yet, the ones who are taking her side are going one step ahead – they are sharing her photoshopped pictures, sans the facial hair, looking nothing less than a celebrity with captions saying – “Prachi Nigam, ten years later”.
Doctors have already diagnosed her with PCOD in their comments, based on photographic evidence. While we have names for people shamed for their weight – body shaming, for their skin colour- racism, for their age- age shaming, for being a female- sexism, this category of shaming where one faces criticism for their appearance has no name. With that, it also has zero shame attached to it.
