Ayesha Takia Deactivates Instagram After Facing Online Trolling


Ayesha Takia, a name that once lit up the silver screen, has found herself in the harsh glare of social media scrutiny. The former actress, boasting a follower count surpassing 2 million on Instagram, deactivated her account following a wave of trolling that erupted over her recent pictures.

Ayesha Takia, although distant from the movie industry for a considerable period, never fails to capture attention whenever she shares snippets of her life on social media. Her latest Instagram post, however, became a subject of intense discussion. Dressed in traditional Indian attire and adorned with makeup and jewelry, her selfie sparked a barrage of negative comments from netizens. The viral image saw Ayesha garnishing her post with heart emojis in the caption, but the responses were far from affectionate.

The comment section turned hostile as users minced no words in expressing their disapproval of her appearance. Remarks like, “Why you destroyed your face and natural beauty?” highlighted the sentiments of dismay. Another user questioned, “Arre ye kya karke rakhe ho..?” translating to, “What have you done to your face?” Such comments underscored the overarching theme of discontent that Ayesha’s transformed visage had garnered. One comment lamented, “Can’t find that cute girl anymore .. anyway.. God bless and keep smiling,” while another opined, “Looking nice but natural beauty always perfect.” The underlying consensus was clear: fans and followers were not pleased with what they perceived as a significant alteration in Ayesha’s natural looks.

The critiques did not remain confined to Instagram alone. Discussions overflowed to platforms like Reddit, where many voiced their belief that the actress had undergone cosmetic procedures, thus ‘ruining’ her face. The online trolling culminated in Ayesha’s decision to deactivate her Instagram handle, a move that came as a shock to many of her loyal followers. It is worth noting that Ayesha had just resumed frequent posting earlier this year after a hiatus of two and a half years.

This isn’t the first instance where Ayesha encountered trolling related to her looks. Back in February of this year, she had also faced a similar onslaught of adverse comments. In response, Ayesha took to social media to address her critics with a poignant note. She stated, “Need to say this, rushed to Goa two days ago due to a medical emergency in my family. My sister has been in the hospital. Amidst all this, I remember being stopped by paparazzi and posing for them for a few seconds before flying off. Turns out there are no other important issues in the country except dissecting my looks.

. I’ve been bombarded by viral, ridiculous opinions on how people think I should have looked and didn’t.”

She went on to clarify that she harbored no intentions of returning to the film industry. Her statement continued, “Literally, get over me, yaar. I have zero interest in doing any films or any comeback as 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. Pls feel free to not care about me at all.”

Ayesha’s frustration was palpable as she remarked on the unrealistic expectations from the public. She underscored the absurdity of expecting someone to look identical to how they did in their teenage years, after a lapse of 15 years. She called these expectations out as unrealistic and ludicrous, “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… lol. Please find better things to do with ur time rather than pick apart good-looking women. I’m blessed with a fabulous life and do not need your opinions. Save it for those interested.”

In a culminating note, Ayesha sent a pointed message back to her detractors, “I’m sending back all ur shitty energy. Do better, ppl. Get a hobby, eat a fun meal, talk to ur 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.”

The scenario paints a broader picture of the challenges faced by public figures in the age of social media. The dichotomy of adoration and criticism can be extreme, often leading to mental and emotional distress. Ayesha’s decision to step away from Instagram serves as a reminder of the pressing need for compassion and respect in our interactions, both online and offline.

Ayesha Takia’s narrative underscores a critical conversation about beauty standards, personal autonomy, and the volatile nature of social media interactions. Despite the negativity, Ayesha’s poignant words resonate as a testament to self-worth and resilience amidst the storm of online trolling.
