Is body shaming a problem in the Asian community? A Pakistani woman says Asian "aunties" told her she was too fat.

Is body shaming a problem in the Asian community? A Pakistani woman, who's a UK size 14, says she's grown up with Asian "aunties" telling her she's too fat and criticising her appearance. We also hear from our correspondent Sameer Hashmi who was at the funeral of Bollywood superstar Sridevi and Rajan Naidu, a Sridevi fan who came to pay his respects. Then fitness guru Kapil Lakhani pops into the studio to answer all your exercise and diet questions. After this, we discuss a new play called "Does My Bomb Look Big in This?" It's about two Muslim girls trying to make sense of the Britain they live in, amid a backdrop of Brexit and terrorism. Playwright Nyla Levy and script adviser Sudha Bhuchar tell us why they focused on the female perspective. And then we discuss Indian Vogue's decision to put Kim Kardashian as their cover girl- should they have chosen an Indian model or celebrity instead?
