After
a

took
to
Twitter
to
thank
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra
for
depicting
the
inspirational
story
of
a
girl
fighting
body
shaming
in
Fanney
Khan,
fans
hail
the
filmmaker
for
his
inspirational
films.
Fans
across
social
media
have
started
a
trend
on
Twitter,
praising
the
films
of
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra
right
from
Rang
De
Basanti,
Bhag
Milkha
Bhag
to
Fanney
Khan.
While
Fanney
Khan
touches
upon
the
issue
of
body
shaming,
a
girl
facing
the
problem
resonated
with
the
film
and
took
to
social
media
to
thank
the
filmmaker.
Soon
after
the
girl's
tweet,
fans
across
Twitter
took
to
the
platform
to
shower
the
filmmaker
with
praises.
A
fan
named
Alina
Saha
uploaded
a
video
to
thank
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra
for
choosing
to
deliver
a
story
like
Fanney
Khan,
which
aptly
depicts
the
struggles
of
someone
who
gets
body
shamed
on
a
daily
basis.
Check
out
the
video
here.
Fanney
Khan
revolves
around
the
story
of
Anil
Kapoor
and
his
on-screen
daughter
Lata
Sharma
played
by
Pihu
Sand,
who
is
an
aspirational
singer
but
bound
by
the
society,
as
she
is
fat
shamed
at
every
step
in
her
life.
Resonating
with
Pihu
Sand's
character
in
the
film,
Alina
said,
"She
is
also
fat,
I
am
also
fat,
there
is
a
huge
social
pressure
which
fat
girls
have
to
go
through
these
days
where
she
is
said
you
can't
do
certain
things
because
you
are
fat,
you
can't
wear
nice
clothes,
but
actually,
we
can
do
it."
She
also
expressed
her
views
on
the
song
'Tere
Jaisa
Tu
Hai',
saying,
"I
really
liked
the
song,
girls
in
today's
generation
can
sing
this
and
tell
the
world
that
I
can
do
things
my
way,
you
do
it
your
way."
Thanking
Rakeysh
Omprakash
Mehra
for
the
film,
Alina
admitted
being
a
fan
of
the
filmmaker
and
his
films.
