Looking for some fiery comebacks to handle unsolicited comments? Komal Aziz’s technique is a great example to follow. The actress-turned-businesswoman, who recently launched her clothing store, shared a series of candid responses during a Q&A session on her Instagram Stories, embracing her unapologetic style.
When asked, “Why have you gained weight?” Komal responded with humor, “Slowly turning into a seth [businessman] with a mota pait [fat stomach],” adding a wink/laugh emoji. She continued, “Just kidding. Running a business is stressful, and I end up stress-eating during tough times.”
Komal wasn’t shy about being honest and added another witty remark: “I don’t smoke, so I end up eating to calm myself,” she finished in Urdu.
The actor also addressed her recent business challenges. When asked why she moved her store, she replied, “Landlord was being over-smart. Acting greedy, so I said bye.” She also spoke up for women who pursue their ambitions, sharing, “A lot of weak men think that a woman running a business alone is exploitable, but little do they know.”
Although most comments were supportive of Komal’s new venture, one follower suggested lowering the prices. Komal’s response was straightforward: “Kindly start working harder to make more money. Maybe get a second job. Upskill yourself.” She also defended her products, saying, “The clothes at [my store] are the most affordable, especially during sales.”
The takeaway: Komal’s approach shows that a thick skin and confidence can go a long way in any business venture.
