Television actress Rubina Dilaik has been on the receiving end of trolling for her tweet on Diwali. A day after Diwali, Dilaik shared a post on X asking people to stop bursting crackers since the festival has concluded. This post led to several users calling her anti-Hindu and some also resorted to threats. The actress has now reacted to the extreme reactions to her tweet.
In her initial post, Rubina wrote, "To whomsoever it may Concern! Diwali is OVER, Stop bursting crackers ... since 10th November, non-stop crackers have been burnt till 3 am in the morning. ENOUGH NOWâ¦. Air pollution toh hai hi â¦. Noise pollution is killing our sleep."
She added, "Diwali, is a festival of lights, a celebration of Shree Ram returning to Ayodhya! Well, Ramayan mein bursting crackers for 10 days was never mentioned. So all you Pseudo Hindu propaganda agents, Go and find someone ELSE to highlight your paid accounts and fake IDs! Dare not."
After the post received verbal abuses, threats and trolling, Rubina shared screenshots of some of the comments and addressed them. Sharing a screenshot of the comments, Rubin wrote, "Don't come and comment on my Instagram... it's NOT GYAN, Mr Intelligently Dumb Vipul Shrisath! Aapse se zyaada hum tyohaar manaatein hain, par doosron ko takleef dekar nahi â¦."
On being called "anti-Hindu" Rubina Dilaik shared another screengrab and wrote, "Anti Hindu ??? Are you guys seriously out of your mind," and added a face with rolling eyes emoji.
