“Apologise for the Stupid Question,” Gouri Kishan Tells Reporter

During a recent media interaction in Chennai, talented young South Indian actress Gouri Kishan faced an uncomfortable and inappropriate question from a Tamil media reporter. The reporter asked her why she had gained weight and even pressed further by asking about her current weight, in a tone many considered insensitive and disrespectful. The incident quickly drew attention for its unprofessionalism and lack of decorum from the media side, especially as the event was meant to focus on Gouri’s upcoming film and her role in it.

Visibly upset by the question, Gouri Kishan immediately gave a fitting response. She told the reporter to apologise for asking such a “stupid and disrespectful question” and questioned how her weight was relevant to her work or the movie. She further urged the media to stop normalising body-shaming and to focus on artistic discussions rather than personal comments. Her strong stand against body-shaming has been widely appreciated by fans and netizens, who praised her confidence and dignity in handling the situation.
