Practice what you preach. An idiom we often throw around as we please but unfortunately, our actions don’t match up with the beliefs that come out of our mouth. Perhaps, this is why Amna Ilyas is under hot waters for body shaming former supermodel Aaminah Haq.
The model-cum-actress has spoken against the issues of colorism and body image in our society. In fact, in one of her recent Instagram videos, Amna said she is at war with the age old concepts of fat shaming and colorism.
“IT ALL STARTS AT HOME. This age old script of colorism and fat shaming has been passed down from one generation to the next, and we mustn’t let it trickle down further.“

The message she tried to convey was great but it would have been far better if she could stick to those words even during interviews.
The Baaji star has sparked a controversy as one of her old interviews is going viral. The Tonite with HSY episode earlier went viral over Sadaf Kanwal’s distasteful comments on Mahira Khan and #MeToo movement and once again, it is making rounds on social media for something similar yet very different.
While playing the game of guessing the celebrity, Amna Ilyas pointed out that supermodel Aaminah Haq had gained weighed and made a rather appalling gesture. Later on, the two models high-fived over this comment whereas HSY was left confused.
