The Story in Brief
Filmmaker Farah Khan said her twin daughters, Diva and Anya Kunder, feel they are “very ugly” during a recent YouTube vlog with Lock Upp 2 contestant Akanksha Choudhary. Akanksha spoke about feeling unattractive and insecure as a teenager before becoming more confident. Farah responded that her daughters experience similar feelings, while Akanksha said she found them cute.
Farah and her husband Shirish Kunder have triplets, including son Czar. The children graduated from Dhirubhai Ambani International School in Mumbai in May and are set to begin university this year. Farah has previously said the cost of sending three children to university helped prompt her move into YouTube during a quiet phase in her film career.
The Indian Opinion
Beauty culture often turns a passing comment about appearance into a sweeping story about celebrity privilege or parental failure. Neither follows from Farah’s remarks. Insecurity can affect teenagers from affluent families too, while reassurance alone cannot fix the pressures created by social media and entertainment. The useful test is whether young people get support that builds confidence beyond looks, not whether they are repeatedly told they are attractive.
