Is compromising on your
image & dignity worth it?
A
iman and Manal Khan; we all know them as happy-go-lucky, peppy, bright and ‘innocent’ ‘teenagers’ who made a name in the industry in such a
short span of time that too at such a young age. Both
the sisters grabbed the attention of the viewers with
their phenomenal acting as supporting actors in a lot
of popular dramas. The main reason why people fell in
love with Aiman and Manal Khan was because of their
simplicity and rawness, which is rarely seen in the celebrities associated with the showbiz. What made people appreciate both these sisters was the fact that they
remained down-to-earth and ‘simple’ despite getting so
much of recognition in the industry at such a young age.
Recently, a couple of photo-shoots have circulated on
the social media in which Aiman and Manal Khan have
gone through a complete personality makeover, which is
grabbing attention for all the wrong reasons. It looks like
Aiman and Manal are trying to send a message to their
fans and the people associated with the showbiz, that
they are not the same ‘simple’ twins anymore for which
people fell in love with them initially and they are ready
to explore more options. Starting from their styling to
their makeup to their poses to their clothing, everything
is wrong and questionable in these photo-shoots and
they have forced their fans to think what has gone wrong
with these sisters? Unfortunately, these photographs of
Aiman and Manal seem to have confused people about
the image that they are trying to portray because it looks
like they are ready to put the past to rest and are now
emerging as ‘glam dolls’ of the industry. Aiman and
Manal should know that they have a fan-base of young
impressionable girls and it is their duty to let their teenager fans know that anyone can be a part of the industry while still being simple and decent. It is unfortunate
to see Aiman and Manal in such a light where they are
‘confidently’ compromising on their image to form a new
one, which most certainly doesn’t seem respectful and
decent.
