I deleted my daughter’s selfie yesterday coz an idiot bully in her class ,A Jha ,mocks her for her looks & tells his pals in class to humiliate her for how she looks in her mother’s insta post. My child pleaded with me ‘ Ma please delete it, they are making fun of me’. I obliged coz I could not stand her tears. Then I realised my act just supported the bully . So Mr Jha , my daughter is an accomplished sports person, record holder in Limca Books, 2 Nd Dan black belt in Karate, at the World Championships has been awarded bronze medal twice; is a loving daughter and yes damn beautiful. Bully her all you want , she will fight back. She is Zoish Irani and I’m proud to be her Mom

"I deleted my daughter's selfie yesterday coz an idiot bully in her class ... mocks her for her looks & tells his pals in class to humiliate her for how she looks in her mother's insta post," wrote Irani.

Irani further said that her daughter had asked her to delete the post, which she did. "I obliged coz I could not stand her tears," the Women and Child Development and Textiles Minister said.

But she said she realised that her act of deleting the post actually "empowered" the wrong person.

"Then I realised my act just supported the bully," Smriti Irani wrote, posting a picture of her daughter on Instagram. She listed out her daughter's achievements and said she will fight back.

"My daughter is an accomplished sportsperson, record holder in Limca Books, 2 Nd Dan black belt in Karate, at the World Championships has been awarded bronze medal twice; is a loving daughter and yes damn beautiful," Irani said.

"Bully her all you want, she will fight back ... and I'm proud to be her Mom," she concluded her post, adding a heart emoji at the end.

Union Minister Smriti Irani had earlier deleted her daughter's selfie from her official Instagram account after she was allegedly mocked for her looks and subjected to bullying in class by a classmate, "who also instigated other class friends to humiliate her for how she looks in her mother's Instagram post".

"I deleted my daughter's selfie yesterday coz an idiot bully in her class ... mocks her of her looks & tells his pals in class to humiliate for how she looks in her mother Insta post.." she said on her official Instagram account.

In her Insta post, Irani said that she decided to delete the picture as her daughter wanted it. 

Many lauded Union Minister Smriti Irani's post against bullies after her daughter was mocked in school over a selfie which she (Smriti Irani) had posted on her Instagram.

Supporting the Union Minister's action, a random user on Instagram wrote "that's the way", while another user Shivani unofficial wrote, "Never feel less of yourself ever ... These bullies bully because of their own incompetence and insecurities. You don't ever need to look a certain way to plz anybody. You are your own competition, you are our own role model. Just be a good person at heart and you don't owe anything to the world. Keep making your family and yourself proud. Loads of love."

Another Instagram user with name Siddhiajagaonkar said, "Such people don’t deserve to be called normal human beings, I am extremely in support of your post."
