It follows the story of a woman who weighs over 160 Kgs and is often told to lose weight. But she isn&#8217;t bothered in the least. We even hear her say,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Why should I make my life a living hell for fear of death?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The story takes a turn and we see her getting engaged with a handsome, young man, but right after their engagement, her fianc\u00e9 announces in front of everyone that her bride-to-be must lose 100 kgs within a year, threatening to otherwise call off the wedding.<\/p>\n<div id=\"g1-fluid-wrapper-counter-1\" class=\"g1-fluid-wrapper \" style=\"width:662px;\" data-g1-fluid-width=\"662\" data-g1-fluid-height=\"372\">\n<div class=\"g1-fluid-wrapper-inner\" style=\"padding-bottom:56.19335347432%;\">\n<div data-mode=\"normal\" data-oembed=\"1\" data-provider=\"youtube\" id=\"arve-youtube-3c1s2zwf8_u\" style=\"max-width:662px;\" class=\"arve\">\n<div class=\"arve-inner\">\n<div style=\"aspect-ratio:331\/186\" class=\"arve-embed arve-embed--has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"arve-ar\" style=\"padding-top:56.193353%\"><\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t<iframe allow=\"accelerometer &#039;none&#039;;autoplay &#039;none&#039;;bluetooth &#039;none&#039;;browsing-topics &#039;none&#039;;camera &#039;none&#039;;clipboard-read &#039;none&#039;;clipboard-write;display-capture &#039;none&#039;;encrypted-media &#039;none&#039;;gamepad &#039;none&#039;;geolocation &#039;none&#039;;gyroscope &#039;none&#039;;hid &#039;none&#039;;identity-credentials-get &#039;none&#039;;idle-detection &#039;none&#039;;keyboard-map &#039;none&#039;;local-fonts;magnetometer &#039;none&#039;;microphone &#039;none&#039;;midi &#039;none&#039;;otp-credentials &#039;none&#039;;payment &#039;none&#039;;picture-in-picture;publickey-credentials-create &#039;none&#039;;publickey-credentials-get &#039;none&#039;;screen-wake-lock &#039;none&#039;;serial &#039;none&#039;;summarizer &#039;none&#039;;sync-xhr;usb &#039;none&#039;;web-share;window-management &#039;none&#039;;xr-spatial-tracking &#039;none&#039;;\" allowfullscreen=\"\" class=\"arve-iframe fitvidsignore\" credentialless data-arve=\"arve-youtube-3c1s2zwf8_u\" data-lenis-prevent=\"\" data-src-no-ap=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/3c1s2ZWf8_U?feature=oembed&amp;iv_load_policy=3&amp;modestbranding=1&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;playsinline=0&amp;autoplay=0\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"372\" loading=\"lazy\" name=\"\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-presentation allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/3c1s2ZWf8_U?feature=oembed&#038;iv_load_policy=3&#038;modestbranding=1&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autoplay=0\" title=\"\" width=\"662\"><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>People have been really angry to see the teaser and actually feel that it is &#8216;offensive&#8217; and promotes fatphobia.

She wrote,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;This is one of the projects that I&#8217;ve worked really hard on, and I only did it for those of us who are always subjected to body shaming. We don&#8217;t let the overweight live in peace, nor do we let the underweight live in peace.
