Zari Hassan has assured her fans that she has never bleached her skin but only purchased better cameras that better represent how she actually looks.

Taking to Instagram, Zari shared throwback photos of herself while reacting to the ‘Esther Bleach’ TikTok challenge. The challenge involves sharing throwback photos and current photos to showcase one’s transformation over the years.

“Oh Esther bleached, nah fam. Esther been that girl since way back. We just have better cameras now.”

While Zari has maintained her skin color, she has previously admitted to undergoing cosmetic surgery.

“What people say about me undergoing plastic surgery is true but I just removed the excess fat within my legs and tummy,” she confirmed.

Adding, “For now, no matter how fat I get, my stomach and legs can’t go back to the previous size.”

She asked her fans to stop bashing celebrities who enhance their bodies through plastic surgery.

“Surgery is a lifestyle so many people are doing daily, but for you, you have no happiness or peace, you have to highlight everything Zari does. You have a Zari syndrome, sis, when will you heal?” she said in response to a fan.

“In Africa, we pretend we are shocked by some things. These things are being done by western people. When you do surgery, you do it to enhance yourself, to look better. No one wants a big tummy.”
