Swathi Reddy hits back at 'aunty' comment
- IndiaGlitz, [Thursday,June 18 2015]
After Vishakha Singh, it's now Swathi Reddy's turn to take on a miscreant on her social netwokring account. The actress took on a fan who made not so nice comment on her social networking page when she posted a picutre of herself. The pretty heroine who was last seen in Karthikeya in Telugu, posted a picture of hers on her Instagram and a fan posted a comment asking her not to post such pictures, saying she looks like an 'aunty'. It is a selfie featuring the actress in a pink saree. Many of her followers liked it, while some commented.
To this, she replied "@suthagallery I AM AN AUNTY. It's not a bad word that I have to feel embarrassed to put up with. People like you are the reason it's hard to be yourself. I am not going to be the colours Swati who was 16 forever. Ok, Uncle? Chill with the free advice."
She then added "The only problem I have with this screenshot is that I found a comma missing in my reply. You see I am a grammar Aunty. 'I am not going to be Colours Swathi who was 16, forever'. Phew!with that said, the reason I put it up is because I don't want to ignore this guy's banal comment and let him and others know that if looking grown up is 'Aunty' then I am an Aunty."
She went on to say "If having more weight than what magazines and social media approves, then I am an Aunty. And proud to be one. PS- All the aunties I grew up watching were serious superwomen and hope I am as good as them. So yeah. PSS- Desi Aunties ko underestimate matt karo."
The guy who made the comment was so scared by her response that he not only deleted his comment but also his Instagram account.
