Shreya smiled and posed sexily. The paparazzi wanted her snaps. Just as she hurried up, she was surrounded by fans for an autograph. After all, her first “just released” movie was a super hit.
All she yearned to do was to hurry home. However, her publicity agent gave her a stern glance. Putting on the false smile on her face again, she began signing the autographs and posing with her admirers. Finally, after she had satisfied her last fan, she hurried to the green room. She removed her diamond ear rings, necklace and bracelet, threw the high heels and cast-off her sensual red gown. She washed off her makeup and putting on a salwar suit, hurried to her car.

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.
