Bollywood diva Malaika Arora took to her Instagram and shared a series of photographs from the streets of New York City.
As the actress is currently on NYC vacation, a picture of her wearing a red body-hugging ensemble went viral on social media in no time.
She is known for her bold fashion choices as well as her fitness craze, and this time she showcased her stretch marks.
Her red dress had a plunging neckline, and the most noticeable thing was the candid display of her stretch marks.
Have a look:
In today's age, social media often promotes unrealistic standards of perfection. Malaika has previously addressed this issue during an interview with Indian media outlet Pinkvilla, where she said, “If I’m trolled because I have stretch marks, so be it. People have far deeper insecurities in life… I have my own share.
Further, she added, “The older you get, the more your insecurities come to the forefront… I felt my insecurities when I was 18, in my 20s, in my 30s, and also in my 40s… What is more important is how much of it I let it affect me."
She posed confidently as usual, and fans flooded the comments section with admiration. “Red dress, red lips, red-hot attitude!!" wrote one fan.
Another added, “Goodness gracious," while someone simply called her “Beauty."
Malaika captioned the post with a simple, “NYC" letting the photos do all the talking.
