Actress Ankita Lokhande appears to have responded to the constant scrutiny around her body with a series of pictures on Instagram. The former Bigg Boss contestant embraced a more natural look. For the unversed, Ankita previously faced trolling over her appearance, including comments about her back, and even body-shaming about her weight.

Ankita Lokhande's latest pictures put her body in focus

In her latest Instagram post, Ankita Lokhande shared a series of pictures in which she posed in a black, backless outfit. The pictures show her back and natural skin texture, including the loose skin and folds that are visible when she poses. Rather than hiding those details, Ankita is comfortable with how her body looks. In the caption, the Pavitra Rishta actress wrote, "She stopped shrinking to fit into places she had already outgrown. Now she stands tall, takes up space, and owns every part of who she is - unapologetically. She isn't becoming powerful. She finally remembered that she always was."

Ankita's latest Instagram post came after a video of the actress from behind attracted comments about her body and what some social media users described as a 'saggy' or 'fat' back. However, it is important to note that Ankita has not explicitly said that this particular post is a response to those trolls.

When Ankita was fat-shamed over a backless blouse

This is not the first time Ankita's appearance has become a topic of discussion on social media. In February 2025, the actress was trolled after pictures from MasterChef India 2 showed her wearing a white saree with a thin-strap backless blouse.

Some commented on her visible skin and body fat around her back instead of her outfit. Social media also targeted Ankita's fitness, with some users telling her to pay attention to her health. Others criticised her for wearing a backless blouse. Ankita has also spoken about being body-shamed during her stint on Bigg Boss 17. In a 2024 interview, she recalled how other contestants made comments about her body during arguments.

There is no direct confirmation that Ankita Lokhande's latest Instagram post was specifically aimed at people trolling her back. Still, the pictures send a clear message simply by showing a real body without trying to hide every fold, curve or change in the skin.
