While the upcoming musical entertainer Fanney Khan starring Anil Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, and Rajkummar Rao focuses on a father's dream to make his daughter a singing sensation, the film also touches on one of the most common social evils, body shaming. Fanney Khan features debutante actress Pihu Sand as an overweight teenager who gets criticized time and again for being on the heavy side. While the young girl is talented, the society brings her down by calling out names thereby breaking her self-confidence.
Anil Kapoor earlier opened up about body issues faced close to home by Sonam and Arjun expressing the emotional trauma faced by the two. Debutante actress Pihu Sand who plays Anil Kapoor and Divya Dutta's daughter, Lata, in the upcoming musical drama, Fanney Khan, had revealed that she added 20 not-needed kg to tip the scales at 98 kg, the heaviest she's ever been, for the film.
