Gouri G. Kishan slams a journalist who made a sexist remark about her

Gouri G. Kishan recently attended a press conference for the movie, Others, which hit the theatres on November 7, 2025. During the same time, Gouri G. Kishan and her co-star, Aditya Madhavan, were answering the journalists.

One of the reporters, who is reportedly also a YouTuber, asked Aditya if he had faced any issues while lifting the actress during any scenes in Others, due to her weight. This sexist comment didn't go down well with the actress, who didn't hold back, slamming the journalist in front of him. She questioned the journalist how her weight concerned him in any way. She further added that her weight is her choice and it doesn't define her talents. Gouri can be quoted as saying:

"How does my weight concern you? How is that relevant to the film? My weight is my choice—it does not define my talent."

Gouri Kishan went on to reveal that every woman has a particular body type, and people shouldn't normalise bodyshaming others. The publicists intervened after the incident, and she lashed out, saying she had a point to make, but everyone else tried to silence her. Gouri can be quoted as saying:

"Every woman has a different body type. Stop normalising body-shaming. I have worked hard on character-driven films. I don’t need your validation. I have a point to make here, and everyone is silencing me."

In a statement, they shared:
