He showed with his muscles for the first time in 2019, and we were all very impressed.
He was very honest about how hard he worked to achieve his physical transformation, how long it took and why he wanted to do it to begin with.
Either way, this past weekend Kumail posted this photo on Instagram to celebrate the new year.
SOME PEOPLE have made it an opportunity to embarrass Kumail, criticizing him for looking ‘unrecognizable’ and making jokes about him using steroids.

I’m not going to share any of the comments here, but you really feel the need to see them. You can go to Twitter or Kumail’s Instagram.
First thing: if you really believe that Kumail looks “unrecognizable” in the second photo, I’m sorry I’m the person telling you this, but you should see an ophthalmologist.

These photos were taken more than five years apart.
More importantly, let’s leave body shaming in 2020, shall we? It is tough and harmful.
Fortunately, Kumail’s fans quickly shut down the haters and made several excellent points in the process.
Body embarrassing Kumail Nanjiani for being hijacked? Is very strange. Especially since all the Chris’s did the same super soldier program and never got an error for it. I wonder what the difference is?
After the death of Chadwick Boseman, there was a lot of talk about ‘do not mock people’s bodies, you do not know what someone is going through’, but Kumail Nanjiani messages like it. an average picture of himself eating dinner and that’s our frame
Chris Evans is hijacked for Captain America: “😍🤩😍🤩” Chris Hemsworth gets for Thor: “😍🤩😍🤩” Chris Pratt gets for Star-Lord: ““ ”Kumail Nanjiani gets for Eternals:“ He clearly uses steroids. ‘I can not see what the difference is.
Kumail Nanjiani looks amazing and I wish I looked as half as good as him. You clearly did not learn your lessons from the mockery of Chadwick Boseman’s physical appearance. Notice how you only mock the men of color, but not your white favorites.
Actor Erin Cummings reacted to one of the comments via a Twitter thread, and explain why it’s better to keep only unsolicited comments about a person’s body to yourself.
In summary, if you have something nasty to say about the body of a stranger, then sit still. Cool? Cool.
