Ayesha Takia took to Instagram on Sunday to address and condemn the body-shaming comments she received after recent paparazzi photos of her at the Mumbai airport circulated online. The former actor revealed that she was heading to Goa due to a family emergency involving her sister's hospitalisation.

Ayesha expressed her displeasure at the trolling, emphasising that she has no interest in making a comeback in films and is content with her private life. She urged trolls to focus on more meaningful activities and not criticise women based on their appearance. She also thanked her supporters for their love and reassured them that she is living a fulfilling life.

“Turns out there are no other important issues in the country except dissecting my looks," she stated. "Been bombarded by viral ridiculous opinions of how ppl think I should have looked and don’t. Literally, get over me yaar, I have zero interest in doing any films or any comeback like people are saying. I’m living my life happily, never want to be in the limelight, not interested in any fame, don’t wanna be in any film…So chill."

Another section of her note on Instagram read, “Please feel free to not care about me at all. Expecting a girl who's mostly been seen in her teens to look identical even after 15 years…How unrealistic and ridiculous are these people."

The former star added further, “I’m blessed with a fabulous life and do not need your opinions, save it for those interested. I’m sending back all your shi**y energy. Do better, people, get a hobby, eat a fun meal, talk to your friend, smile, whatever it takes to not feel so unhappy that you need to tell a gorgeous happy woman how she’s not looking like you wanted.” Ayesha debuted in 2004 with Taarzan: The Wonder Car and has been part of films like Socha Na Tha and Wanted.
