A heart-warming video from popular travel vlogger Sujith Bhakthan has been doing the rounds on Malayalam social media, for all the right reasons.
Unlike most of his travel vlogging videos, this video has nothing to do Sujith’s travel or food experiences. In the video, he politely, and smilingly shuts down people who fat-shamed his wife, Shweta.
In the video, Sujith silences those engaging in fat-shaming, and those posting hateful comments about his wife Shweta’s weight, by saying that beauty is more than simply physical, adding that he loves “fat”.
Before he finishes, Shweta chimes in that she takes the comments in a positive way. Sujith adds that despite him being overweight as well, he doesn’t face nearly as much fat-shaming as Shweta does.
He then says that a person’s beauty is not just about their body, but also about their heart and mind.
The video, which was shared by Facebook group Pathanamthitta LIVE, had gathered over 6,98,000 views at the time of writing this story.
Sujith’s video addresses the issue of fat-shaming that many overweight or obese people are often subjected to, across the world.
