Mrunal Thakur Backs Katrina Kaif, Kriti Sanon Amid Online Trolling

Mrunal Thakur, the latest Bollywood actor to speak out against online trolling, has come to the defense of her colleagues Katrina Kaif and Kriti Sanon. The actress, who is promoting her new film Pooja Meri Jaan, was asked about the recent trolling faced by Kaif and Sanon, who were subjected to massive online scrutiny over their appearance and clothing.

Thakur emphasized the importance of personal autonomy, stating that individuals have the right to navigate their own lives without external judgment. In a recent statement to PTI, Thakur highlighted the achievements of iconic women like Kriti and Katrina, who have made significant contributions to the industry and business.

Notably, these women have successfully expanded their entrepreneurial ventures to the UK, where they operate with a global presence. Observers have been advised to refrain from commenting on others. A sentiment that highlights the need for self-awareness and respect for individual choices.

Thakur also highlighted the fact that women have always been judged, and today men also face similar scrutiny. "Women are always judged, and when are they not judged? But not just women, even men are judged," she added.

The trolling faced by Kaif and Sanon has been well-documented. With Kaif facing massive bodyshaming last month after appearing at the Ambanis' Gapati celebrations. Sanon was also heavily criticized for her choice of clothing in an event.

Both actresses have since addressed the trolling. With Kaif speaking out at an event for her brand in London and Sanon issuing a clarification on social media.

The trolling faced by Kaif and Sanon has sparked a wider conversation about online harassment and the impact it has on women in the entertainment industry.

Mrunal Thakur's comments have been welcomed by fans and fellow actors, who have praised her for speaking out against online bullying.

Thakur is at the centre of the gripping crime thriller Pooja Meri Jaan, now streaming on ZEE5.

An email, penned by Aniket before his passing, accuses Pooja of driving him to despair.

Navjot Gulati helmed the film, which was produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films, with Huma Qureshi by his side.
