Are Parineeti's fake 6-pack abs a new way of body shaming?

We all know about contouring. Yes, celebrities usually get it done on various parts of their body like arms, legs and face to add definition, but who ever heard of contouring (read: drawing) 6-pack abs?

You read that right.

So when Dishoom's item song 'Janeman Aah' came out recently, we were thrilled to see Parineeti Chopra in her fabulous new bod, but that's not what left our jaws hanging open; it was the 'contoured' 6-pack abs on her not-so-flat tummy.

Did we miss something, or did the filmakers miss the fact that a pooch does not equal to defined abs.

This is what her bod actually looks like.

Her pooch in all its glory. And there is NOTHING embarrassing about it.

Seriously, Dishoom filmmakers? This is a new low.

We all would love a flat stomach, hell, a few cuts won't hurt either, but really? Fake abs? This is where we're headed at? Even Bollywood's hot-bod queens, Jacqueline Fernandez and Katrina Kaif, who work their bootiful behinds off for their killer figures, don't have defined 6-pack abs.

We don't spot a 6-pack, but do they look beautiful? Yessir.

Could this possibly be a new way of body shaming? It sure seems like it.

Parineeti has worked hard to lose all the excess weight so she could look and feel good, but this just thwarted all her efforts. The filmmakers have reduced the actress to her abs, something which should not define her, or anybody ever. Period.

You can even see the way her tummy jiggles, and we love it because there is nothing 'fake' about a wiggling-jiggling tummy.

We adore Parineeti for the way she is, she needs no 'contouring,' please leave her be. If you want those abs, find yourself a fitness trainer to feature in your item songs.

Or better yet, learn from Kareena; you don't need no abs to do a smokin' job in an item number.
