Following its release, a content creator raised questions about her decision to be part of a film with fat-shaming humor, given her past stance on body positivity. Content creator Soumya Dubey shared a clip from an earlier interview in which Anand had said that calling someone "fat" said more about the person hurling the insult, and that she would respond by calling them "ugly" in return. Dubey noted that this stance seemed at odds with ‘Dhamaal 4’, where, according to her, Anand's character was repeatedly the target of fat-shaming jokes throughout the film.Anjali Anand's earlier clapback on InstagramIn an Instagram comment earlier this year, a man brushed aside the term "curvy," opting to call her "fat" instead. Anjali didn't let it go unanswered—she clapped back with a clever line: "I know I am fat.
