Bollywood actress Ayesha Takia has made a notable comeback on Instagram after deleting her account following a wave of trolling over her alleged plastic surgeries. A recent photo of the actress wearing a blue and golden saree, complemented by pink-toned makeup, went viral, with many fans remarking that she looked “unrecognizable.” This sparked widespread speculation and criticism about possible cosmetic procedures, leading her to temporarily deactivate her social media presence.
After the trolling, Ayesha returned to Instagram with a subtle response to her critics. She posted a boomerang video of herself in a black tee and ripped jeans, captioning it, “very demure, very mindful.” In another Instagram story, she shared a quote that read, “Did you notice how I just didn’t respond? Very mind, very cutesy, very demure.” These posts were seen as a quiet clapback to those who had criticized her.
During the period when her Instagram page was unavailable, visitors were met with the message, “Sorry, this page isn’t available,” causing speculation about whether she had permanently deleted her account. Despite the speculation, Ayesha has not publicly admitted to undergoing any recent plastic surgery. However, comparisons of her recent photos with older ones have fueled rumors about noticeable changes in her facial features.
The comments on her viral posts reflect a mix of surprise and skepticism. One user commented, “No way this is Ayesha Takia,” adding, “I know she had plastic surgery & had seen her after surgery. But this post of her just randomly popped up on my Instagram discover feed & I couldn’t even recognize her.” Another commented, “Is this a real photo? How on earth?”
Earlier this year, the actress also faced criticism for her changed appearance when she was seen out in public. At the time, she responded with a cryptic note on Instagram, stating, “You can’t control how people perceive your energy. Anything you do or say gets filtered through the lens of whatever they are going through at the moment, which is totally not about you.” She also shared a selfie with the caption, “Love and peace.”
Ayesha Takia, who rose to fame after her performance in the Salman Khan-starrer action thriller film Wanted, seems to be addressing the backlash with a composed and thoughtful approach, focusing on positivity and self-care amidst the ongoing scrutiny.
