Malaika Arora was trolled on social media after she shared a photograph of herself flaunting what many felt was armpit hair. Arora shared a behind-the-scene monochrome image of her from a photoshoot, on Instagram.

A section of social media users criticised it. The post, however, received over three million likes. Social media users commented that she should have waxed before the shoot, while some even found it disgusting. One user wrote, "At least shave your armpits, that's disgusting", while another wrote, "I can see those dirty underarms."
