Kriti Sanon Speaks Out on Choli Controversy: Online Abuse Targeted Her Family

Kriti Sanon has opened up about the online trolling she faced after her Raksha Bandhan commercial sparked a national debate. She revealed that trolls began attacking her family members, with people who claimed to be discussing culture using abusive language. In a conversation with Kareena Kapoor on her show What Women Want, Kriti said she usually ignores trolls but felt compelled to speak up this time. She highlighted how women are constantly scrutinized for their clothes, weight, and personal choices, with even their families becoming targets of online abuse. Kriti explained that her choli became a six-person panel discussion on prime-time news, which she found alarming. She emphasized that the issue was not about her outfit but about the larger problem of women being judged for everything. Kriti also mentioned that her sister had asked her to turn off comments due to the abuse. She urged women to stand up for themselves and not be judged for their choices. Kriti concluded by reminding people that actors are human beings too and that online hate affects them just as it affects anyone else.
