Amala Paul, a beloved actress among South Indian cinema fans, began her career in Malayalam films before becoming a leading star in Tamil cinema and a part of successful Telugu films. Amala is active on social media, often sharing glimpses of her life. Her marriage and other personal milestones have also been widely covered online.
Recently, Amala Paul became a mother, which led her to take a break from acting. However, her latest photos from Bali, shared on social media, have gone viral. In these pictures, she appears without makeup, showcasing her natural look, which quickly gained traction online. While many people praised the photos, they also attracted negative comments. A number of remarks criticized her choice of clothing and included body-shaming comments.
Social media reactions ranged from supportive to harsh: “This looks like Aratt Annan; behave like a mother, dear. Reduce weight. It seems like you are always seen without clothes. No matter how rich, it feels like you can’t afford a jacket. These days, partial nudity is a way to gain fame. I wish I was your child,” read one comment. Another added, “Without makeup, celebrities are nothing.”
At the same time, Amala’s supporters stepped in to defend her. “She is the mother of a young boy. Her body reflects the beauty of motherhood. These negative comments are upsetting. Choose respect and kindness,” wrote one fan. Others encouraged her happiness, saying, “What is your problem? She is happy. It’s the best time of her life with a child who brings her joy. She is embracing what she loves, and no one here is paying for her life. Why not say something positive instead? Motherhood has made you even more beautiful. There are few great actresses in Indian cinema, and you are one of them. God bless you.”
Amala’s son is named Eli. Her last release was Level Cross, starring Asif Ali, which was selected for the Goa International Film Festival. Another recent film of hers was Aadujeevitham. Fans are eagerly waiting for her return, though Amala has not announced any new projects yet. Meanwhile, her Bali photos continue to trend on social media, leaving her followers eagerly awaiting her next update.
