Owing to her controversial content every now and then, Amna Ilyas has now effortlessly become a household name. Her latest pictures on Instagram seem to have ruffled the feathers of social media users for expected reasons.
Ilyas has worked her way up the fashion and entertainment ladder carrying nothing but her proud and brown skin with relentless talent. Before making her debut as an actor, Ilyas was already a well-known Pakistani model. She made a smashing entrance in the entertainment industry as an actor with the role of Rubina in the movie Zinda Bhaag.
Every now and then we see this model-turned-actor stir some kind of controversy. She always manages to get under fire and offend social media users in one way or another. Female celebs often receive plenty of backlash for their choice of lifestyle, but mostly for wearing a revealing outfit.
During this round of backlash, Ilyas was the target since she chose to wear an outfit of her own choice without consulting her fans and followers first. No way, how could she?
While enjoying her recent trip to Sri Lanka, the model has been sharing pictures with her fans on Instagram. In a recent post, Ilyas shared a picture of herself in a bikini with a caption that read, “Scars are tattoos with better stories”.
While many from the entertainment industry complemented the model, fans and followers could not handle her dress and bashed her for wearing a revealing outfit. While healthy criticism is always welcome, some people tend to go way out of line with their flak.
Social media users school the actor:
When will this surveillance and regulation of women’s bodies and wardrobes stop? If you can wear what you want and let others wear what they want. You cannot justify cruelty by calling it a mere ‘opinion’. The moral police must first start with policing themselves from profanities and hurtful words.
It should be noted that women are not decor pieces or objects that people can look at and pass their unasked for opinions about. Instead, they are people with the right to decide how to live their lives and what to wear, but that should not be grounds for people to comment and hate on them.
RJ and actor Anoushey Ashraf recently responded to one fan’s question about ‘bold’ dressing and trolls, Ashraf said she does not really care what they think because she believes they are projecting their own misery on the internet.
