While speaking to PTI, Hema Malini was asked about the heartbreaking news about Vinesh Phogat being disqualified from the Olympics in Paris, to which her reaction is going viral and is getting strongly criticised and how.

VIDEO | "It is very surprising, and it feels strange that she was disqualified for being 100 gm overweight. It is important to keep the weight in check. It is a lesson for all of us. I wish she should lose that 100 gm quickly but she would not get an opportunity," says BJP leader_ pic.twitter.com/9vFyl91Dll — Press Trust of India (@PTI_News) August 7, 2024

In the interview with PTI, she said," It is very surprising and bada ajeeb sa bhi lagta hain ki 100 gm ki wajah se woh disqualify ho gayi. Kitna mehatwa hain apna weight aur wazan ko theek se rakhna! Hum sab ko isse ek achha seekh milna chahiye sab kalakaro ko, mahilayon ko sabko… ki 100 gm also matters a lot! We feel very sad for her. I wish she loses that 100 grams quickly lekin milega nahi abhi".

This reaction of Hema Malini is strongly shamed. One user wrote, "I really don’t get why people vote for someone like Hema Malini," Another user commented, "t's an extremely stupid and insensitive thing to say in this context... Being over weight by 100 g is more of a logistical error and bad luck rather than her being unhealthy... Do you realise that the extreme training and the strict diet these Olympic athletes follow... She did not defeat the world no 1 being mediocre in power and skill... Saying these things makes it seem that she was eating samosas and ice cream everyday… Healthy living is an important message but there is a time place for everything".
