<p>Fardeen Khan has been missing in action (MIA) for quite a while. In fact his last release was the 2010 flop 'Dulha Mil Gaya'.</p>
<p>So when Twitter went into overdrive and the actor started trending it raised a few eyebrows. Then it became apparent that the twitterverse was making fun of the actor for his recent weight gain.</p>
<p><img src="http://images.mid-day.com/images/2016/may/17-Fardeen.jpg" alt="Fardeen Khan (centre) and his sister Laila attended the shraadh ceremony of Subrata Roy&rsquo;s (left) mother in Lucknow recently." /><br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><em><strong>Fardeen Khan (centre) and his sister Laila attended the shraadh ceremony of Subrata Roy&rsquo;s (left) mother in Lucknow.</strong></em></span></p>
<p>Well, when we first saw this image, we too needed a second look to recognise the 'Chocolate boy' hero of 'No Entry'.</p>
<p>But in an age when people are taking a stand against body shaming of actresses, it seemed strange that the 42-year-old actor would be the butt of jokes for putting on some weight.</p>
<p>We rounded up some of tweets that targetted Fardeen. You take a call if they are funny or insensitive.</p>

<p>There some, though, who spoke up for Fardeen and highlighted the fact that body shaming, irrespective of gender, wasn't cool. They also spoke of how body shaming a celeb has repercussions on ordinary folks.</p>
