Mrunal Thakur Defends Katrina Kaif and Kriti Sanon Against Online Trolling, Calls for Respect and Empathy

Actress Mrunal Thakur has come out in support of fellow Bollywood stars Katrina Kaif and Kriti Sanon, condemning the growing culture of online trolling and urging people to respect personal choices rather than engage in criticism.

Speaking during promotions for Pooja Meri Jaan, Mrunal highlighted the intense scrutiny faced by actresses in the entertainment industry.

She noted that public discussions often focus on celebrities’ appearances and personal decisions while overlooking their professional achievements and contributions.

Mrunal praised both Katrina and Kriti for establishing themselves as successful professionals and entrepreneurs beyond their acting careers.

She emphasised that their accomplishments deserve recognition and appreciation instead of constant judgment on social media.

The actress also pointed out that women have traditionally borne the brunt of public criticism, though increasing social media attention has led to male celebrities facing similar scrutiny in recent years.

Her comments come amid separate controversies involving Katrina Kaif and Kriti Sanon.

Katrina reportedly faced body-shaming remarks and criticism about her appearance on social media, while Kriti drew backlash over her outfit in a Raksha Bandhan advertisement, which was later withdrawn.

Kriti subsequently issued a clarification regarding the campaign.

By speaking out, Mrunal Thakur has joined the growing chorus of voices calling for a more respectful and empathetic digital environment, where individuals are judged by their work and achievements rather than subjected to personal attacks online.
