Respect Their Choices, Don’t Overlook Their Contribution: Mrunal On Trolling Of Katrina Kaif, Kriti Sanon
Actor Mrunal Thakur has come out in support of actors Katrina Kaif and Kriti Sanon, who faced massive online trolling recently, saying people should respect their choices and not overlook their contributions to the film industry. Asked about female actors being subjected to public scrutiny over their appearance and clothing, Thakur expressed her displeasure at those judging the two Bollywood stars. “It’s their life, it’s their choice and everyone has a right to enjoy their phase of their life. And who are we? People who are judging all these iconic women, do we forget how amazing work (they have done) and the contribution towards the industry and business both of these women. “Be it Kriti and Katrina, they are running a business not just in India but everywhere in UK and all. I think people should not comment on anyone else. People are crazy, what else to say,” the actor told PTI. Thakur said women have always been judged, while pointing out that men also face similar scrutiny. “Women are always judged and when are they not judged? But not just women, even men are judged,” she said.

Tanushree Dutta Reacts To Backlash Over ‘Evil Dead’ Remark For Nana Patekar
As Tanushree Dutta has been receiving backlash over her ‘evil dead’ remark post Nana Patekar’s demise, she reacted to it and said, “jo wave of negativity mujhe mil rahi hai na. I can’t imagine people can be so dumb. Duniya ke experience kisi insaan ke saath alag ho sakte hain. Mere experience mujhe pata hai na ek insaan ke saath aur main to gade murde ukhadna bhi nahi chahti thi isiliye maine apne reaction ko preserve rakha taki kuch dino baad apna reaction dungi. Lekin koi mar gaya hai uska matlab ye to nahi hai na ki usne jeet ji jitney kaand kiye hain saare wipe out ho jate hain. usne jitney logon ko pareshan kiya hai, jitney logon ko victimize kiya hai, wo kya khata bandh ho jata hai. Log maaf karne ki baat kar rhe hain, arey bina maafi maange bhagwaan bhi maaf nahi karta. Pehle to apne gunaah ko qaboolna padta hai”.

Katrina Kaif Finally Responds To Trolls Bodyshaming Her
Katrina Kaif has indirectly addressed the trolls bodyshaming her about her post pregnancy appearance but emphasised that she doesn’t let it affect her life. During an event, Katrina stated, “I think we really need to be careful in letting the narrative on social media affect our self-worth. If we start trying to cater to all of them, I think that really hampers your ability to make choices for yourself. Personally, if every time I face critique or comments, I let that dictate my actions, I think I would have been paralysed with fear and unable to move ahead in my life”. She further stated in response to a question, “There are times when the world is going to celebrate you and other times when you have to be your own biggest cheerleader.”
