Pakistani model Roma Michael deletes ramp walk video amid backlash

Pakistani model Roma Michael was forced to delete a video from social media after facing a barrage of trolls and hateful comments for wearing a bikini.

The controversy erupted when Roma shared a video of herself participating in the bikini round at the Miss Grand International 2024 pageant.

The clip quickly went viral, sparking outrage and indecent comments from some users.

Despite praise from some fans for her bold outfit, Roma faced a deluge of criticism, with many targeting her for her choice of attire and sharing it on social media.

Within hours of posting, Roma removed the video from her Instagram profile, seemingly in response to the backlash.

Roma's participation in the pageant and initial decision to share the video showcased her confidence and courage.

However, the subsequent backlash underscores the challenges women face in conservative societies.

Model-turned-actor, Roma Michael's journey began during an internship at Faces Pakistan in 2013, where encouragement from a colleague led her to try modeling, resulting in her first photoshoot and a wave of compliments on social media.
