‘It’s awkward and bewildering’: Runa Khan on online misuse of her videos

“I’ve noticed for a long time that many fake pages are using my photos and video interviews, claiming I lost weight by using their products,” said Runa. “But what can I even say to them? I’ve shared my real journey so many times—it’s been more than four years now. And when I see my own colleagues involved in such activities, using these products, or even going through surgeries, I honestly have nothing more to say.”
