Pakistani influencer Dr Ejaz Waris has apologised to actor Katrina Kaif for body-shaming her post-pregnancy weight gain, hours after Salman Khan criticised the trolling on Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar. In an Instagram video on Sunday, Waris said his words were "just joked a bit for the hook" and that he had never intended to body-shame. He also apologised to Salman and said he felt a "burden in his heart" after global backlash.
Salman had called out trolls targeting Kaif, saying women put on weight after pregnancy and that she should be allowed time with her family. Waris had earlier mocked Kaif's appearance at the Ambani Ganesh Chaturthi celebration. He has disabled comments on the post. Pakistani actor Ali Zafar had also criticised Waris's remarks.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources carry near-identical wire-style reporting of Pakistani RJ Dr Ejaz Waris's apology after Salman Khan called out body-shaming of Katrina Kaif on Bigg Boss 20. Neither outlet questions the sincerity of the apology or examines the pattern of celebrity body-shaming online. The coverage is uniform straight news, no critical or pro-government framing is present. The only notable difference is Hindustan Times adding a brief detour into its reporter's personal biography, which is irrelevant to the story. The implication is that celebrity apology cycles now follow a predictable script: a public figure criticises trolling on a platform, the troll apologises, and mainstream media report it as fact without analysis. The next step to watch is whether Waris faces any platform action beyond disabling comments on his post.
