After a video of a Pakistani model, Roma Michael, walking the ramp in a bikini at the Miss Grand International 2024 went viral, she received a lot of backlash online. Many in Pakistan, where conservative social standards frequently limit women's clothing and public appearances, were outraged by the video, which swiftly went viral on social media.
Michael apparently removed the video from her Instagram account in response to the unfavourable comments. But after that, the video was extensively shared on other websites, which fuelled the discussion on women's representation and rights in Pakistan.
A user shared the video with the caption: "So Miss World Grand deleted this video on Instagram and the website due to Pakistani people bashing this Lahore-based model, #RomaMichael, who is crossing all limits and ruined the name of Pakistan."
