Pakistani radio jockey-influencer Dr Ejaz Waris apologises to Katrina Kaif after she faced body-shaming trolling over her post-pregnancy appearance. Waris had earlier made jokes about her weight following her appearance at the Ambani Ganpati celebrations with Vicky Kaushal. Katrina has not publicly responded to the troll, but Salman Khan publicly criticised the remarks on Bigg Boss 20.
In an Instagram video, Waris says his comments were made “casually” and “as a hookline” during a discussion, not with any intention to body-shame. He acknowledges that the remark was wrong, expresses regret, and says he realised it could hurt viewers and Katrina. He also apologises to Salman Khan and to fans who were affected, adding that he did not intend malice and clarifying that his apology is sincere rather than driven by fear.
Across reports, outlets agree on the sequence: Waris trolls Katrina, Salman challenges the trolling on Bigg Boss 20, and Waris then issues an apology on social media, describing the original remark as an error in context and delivery.
