Yes people call it shaming when their favorites are even mildly criticized 😛 but when they do it its constructive criticism or merely pointing out a flaw

I think people in the entertainment business should take care. I don't care about the normal person on the road. But this question came up in the criticism thread. 

My point is, these are people in the entertainment industry. There have help for fashion as in stylists, they can hire trainers to work out, most probably have help in the kitchen. We are bombarded by their images, why should I not expect them to look their best ? 

What do you think is the point of fashion then ? Shallow to look at clothes, make up ? Criticize bad fashion ? Apologies if I come across as combative. Sincerely interested in your POV.

Shaming people for having a physique or features that are not conventionally considered beautiful.

I think the day BW makes more films about real looking people with real stories, the audience and online fan communities will also not be obsessed with celebs looking perfect.

And I actually sometimes want to see a little jiggle or belly fat on BW characters..😆

FOr example, as much as I loved the film Piku, one thing that kept bothering me was how unrealistically toned Deepika's body looked even when hidden under those kurtas... Her "physique" never for one second looked like it belonged to an average bong girl living in Delhi.😆

I have a long childhood of body shaming, not only from my friends but also from teachers. So much so that I have cried for hours at a stretch after those incidents. My PE teacher would ask me to do sit ups infront of the class just because I was fat. So for me body shaming brings some bad memories personally. Doesn't matter anymore but back then it was hell for me to feel humiliated everyday by someone or the other. 

However if its the entertainment industry its a known fact that u need to look good on the screen. People are not paying their hard earned money to cringe everytime someone appears on the screen. Its just that type of a profession. But I also believe sometimes people go extreme with their criticism. Pari and Sona look fine to me much better then what they used to be. To expect them to turn into Deepika's size is ridiculous and the hillarious part is now people find Deepika too thin, almost unhealthy ( I feel the same though ) I have seen plenty of regional artists who do no have the best bodies but still click with the audience and had succesful careers maybe because their acting was better than their looks .  So this whole excessive criticism just because someone has a bit of a weight is wrong. Coming to mocking people just because they are not the perfect size is completely wrong. Everyone don't have it easy with losing weight.Depends on their body structure and their health issues too so why mock. Its hurtful and unnecessary/ Do not like the person , don't watch their movie, call out the reason too that they are unfit. Thats fine, its an opinion and u have a right to it. Nobody has the right to mock someone by calling them names, then its just someone having fun at someones expense maybe the celebrity is not gonna read ur comments but some person living through constant bullying might and feel worse.
