Lahore-based Pakistani model and actress Roma Michael has removed her widely shared Instagram photo of a bikini ramp walk from the Miss Grand International 2024 pageant.
She received a lot of criticism, especially from Pakistani audiences that have conservative opinions about women’s clothing and public looks, which led to the decision.
She made an effort to get the video taken down, but it persisted on spreading on social media and sparked a national conversation about women’s representation and rights.
With appearances at high-profile events like Cannes Fashion Week, Michael, who has established herself in the fashion and entertainment industries, expressed displeasure at the unfavorable reaction.
