Anna Rajan narrates her ordeal

Anna Rajan recently shared a video in which she was seen shaking a leg to the latest Malayalam song Iluminati from the film Aavesham starring Fahadh Faasil. Anna was upset by the body-shaming comments and took to her Instagram handle to express how her movements are restricted for a variety of reasons, including an autoimmune disorder. She also stated that the body wait changes as a result of it.

"If you don't like the video or me, you can say it but commenting like this and liking that comment is very hurtful. My movements are restricted due to a lot of reasons. I am fighting an autoimmune thyroid disease. Sometimes my body swells, other day it slims. I face puffiness, joint pains and loads of other symptoms. Still I am doing my best for these two years and I will not sit back at home doing nothing. Because I also belong to this world. If you don't like it, leave but don't comment like this (sic),” Anna wrote on Instagram stories.
