A Bold Caption Sparks More Fire
The caption that accompanied her video read:
“From last year, never posted it because I felt fat. Looking back, not too bad! I guess it’s all perception — if you begin with love you see only beauty. Go get yourself something yummy to eat! And me, some clothes! Happy weekend y’all.”

“Shram b nhi a ti,” wrote one critic.
“Such an inappropriate action,” commented another.

The video has gone viral, drawing a mix of admiration and outrage:
