Stand up comic artist and AIB (All India Bakchod) writer, Supriya Joshi who has entertained the masses, especially youngsters with those brilliant writing skills for all those hilarious AIB videos took to social media to shut up those trolling for being fat. Supriya was being tagged in fat-shaming memes on social media and she spotted it. In a fitting response to those memes, she tagged one of those body-shamers and in a series of tweets brilliantly explained what is wrong with the meme. The meme which was circulating on Twitter also had AIB’s Tanmay Bhat, stand-up comedian Bharti Singh and television celebrity, Dolly Bindra. Supriya who noticed the meme on Twitter, decided not to take it all lying down.
In a series of 14 tweets Supriya explained how it was not at all funny to call someone fat because they already know it. Supriya also asked them to be a little more creative with their memes, if they want to make them. In what can be called as the most epic response, Supriya also told her body shamers that she will not to stay quiet about it, and will not let them (the haters) win.
Here are her tweets and the meme labelled as ‘Fatty family’ in which Supriya, Tanmay Bhat, Bharti Singh and Dolly Bindra were tagged:

Traditionally, fat women like myself have served as the punchline for almost every joke imaginable.

Media has dictated that a body like mine is not a normal body, therefore it is hideous and demands to be made fun of.

Because that’s what you do with things you don’t understand – you either respond with hate, or you respond by making fun of them.

Another additional layer (pardon the pun) to this is that along with being fat, I am also a woman.
