Congress leader Supriya Shrinate has come to the defense of actor Deepika Padukone, who has been facing online trolling for her comments on open relationships. Padukone and her husband Ranveer Singh appeared on the first episode of Karan Johar’s ‘Koffee With Karan’ Season 8, where they discussed their relationship and Padukone’s struggles with anxiety and depression.
During the show, Padukone revealed that she wasn’t committed to Singh initially and was seeing other men. She explained that she wanted to be single for a while due to past difficult relationships, but eventually committed to Singh when he proposed to her. Since then, Padukone has been the target of relentless trolling.
Supriya Shrinate took to Twitter to praise Padukone for speaking openly about her mental health struggles and Singh for supporting her. She called Padukone a “super achiever” and stated that her openness about mental health encourages others to confront their own struggles. Shrinate also criticized the trolls for engaging in character assassination and creating vulgar memes of the actor.
Shrinate’s support for Padukone comes shortly after Karan Johar addressed the hate directed towards her. During an Instagram live session, Johar urged the trolls to stop their negative behavior, emphasizing that their actions would have no impact on Padukone’s success or failure.
It is important to stand up against online harassment and support individuals who bravely share their personal experiences. Open discussions about mental health can help break the stigma surrounding it and encourage others to seek help.
