Bollywood's chocolate boy Fardeen Khan has put on some weight and Twitter has gone to town to body-shame the actor.

According to India Times, the Kambakht Ishq actor who was last seen on the silver screen over six years ago, is planning to make a comeback with his own venture, but there's a huge surprise for his followers -- the hunk no longer looks like his lean character Shekher in No Entry.

Recent pictures of him have surfaced online, giving Twitter trolls their new prey.

Here's what some people think of Fardeen's new appearance.

Sure, the actor's put on weight, but does that give Twitter the right to body-shame him?

hoshiar singh gill | 8 years ago | Reply Fardeen Khan is one of many Indian actors who got into films because his dad was an successful actor.His dad was one of the best looking actors in Bollywood.However Fardeen Khan had very ordinary looks,he looked cross eyed.Only in India these things are possible.If you have money and clout you can fit your sons and daughters in most unlikely of places.Whether slim or fat Fardeen was nothing like Feroz Khan Dharmendra or a long list of handsome actors in Bollywood. Incidently Sunny Deol also fits in same category!

Coco | 8 years ago | Reply Chocolate Boy ate up all the chocolate. That sheen on his face suggests a bit of a drinking problem.

asad | 8 years ago | Reply Life is enjoy fardeen. Dont listen what people have to say about you. Eat and drink as much as you want to. Life is going to end one day. Do what makes you happy broo. Injoyy

Zaida Parvez | 8 years ago | Reply If this so-called "shaming" helps him shed a few pounds, it can only be good for him.

Mega | 8 years ago | Reply @WaqaR He is out of work, at home 24 hrs eating and eating. Enjoying life of rich boy/ being served his wishes at table. No stress over work, happy being a couch potato..such lifestyle makes one fat..he's not on steroids. But follows unhealthy lifestyle.

pardeep | 8 years ago | Reply This is sign of extreme depression when one does not get work in Bollywood. This has happened to many actors before. After loss of his father and no support from his relatives, he is in extreme distress. May take longer time to recover or may be not at all.

Muhammad Ali | 8 years ago | Reply Nowadays Every one is Depressed About Weight Gaining Obesity is Not Good...

Rahul | 8 years ago | Reply I remember growing up in India when we used to congratulate people who put on weight.

Waqar. | 8 years ago | Reply He could be ill, on steroids - that make you gain weight no matter what you do.

OSD | 8 years ago | Reply I've only ever gotten flak for losing weight.. Not gaining it.. But this shaming thing is good.. It definitely provides ppl motivation to work out.. Otherwise it is to let go..

Khan | 8 years ago | Reply @Haji Atiya: hahaha...your comment made my day :)

Haji Atiya | 8 years ago | Reply Well, in Pakistan most people will call him 'healthy' now !
