I’m just a girl like you. My body fluctuates between gaining and losing weight, and often times I feel afraid to speak out about such a sensitive topic. Today I decided to shatter the glass ceiling and speak out because everyone needs to hear that you are alright and don’t let the superficial aspects of the world get you down. Having said all that, iska ye harqiz matlab nahi hai ke app log exercise ya diet karna chor den 😆❤️

In a recent tweet, the model talked about banning fairness creams and her disappointment at fellow celebs who continue to promote whitewashing solutions.

A video from a TV talk show that aired a few years ago has gone viral on the internet as it shows Ilyas hinting at former model Aminah Haq’s apparent weight gain.

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. Hope you guys enjoy this video!
