Naimal Khawar, known for her roles in Verna and Anaa before marrying actor Hamza Ali Abbasi, has found herself at the center of an online debate after attending a wedding in Norway. A fan who met the couple there posted pictures, and many people noticed Naimal looked a bit different from her usual Instagram photos. This sparked comments and questions online about the change in her appearance.
Naimal responded in her own light-hearted way first, sharing pictures from the same wedding and jokingly blaming the change on parathas, a playful nod to her love for food. But she also addressed the matter more seriously through her Instagram stories, explaining that women’s bodies naturally change due to hormones and weight fluctuations, and that people should stop passing quick judgment so openly.
Her response, however, divided the internet into two camps. One group felt the criticism was somewhat justified, arguing that Naimal usually shares heavily edited photos, so seeing a more natural, unfiltered picture came as a surprise to many. Some felt that if she truly wanted authenticity, she should stop posting edited images altogether.
On the other side, many fans strongly defended her, saying people should focus on their own lives instead of commenting on someone else’s appearance. Several users called her naturally beautiful and said there was no visible weight change at all.
The incident has once again opened up a wider conversation about body image, social media editing culture, and the unfair pressure placed on women to look a certain way at all times.
