Actress Shehnaaz Gill, who continues to enjoy immense popularity among fans, recently found herself at the receiving end of social media backlash.
The actress who was close to the late actor Siddharth Shukla faced criticism from a section of the public who accused her of forgetting him on his 4th death anniversary on September 2. A comment under her post read, “Shame on you for how you forgot Sidarth,” expressing disappointment over her not mentioning the late actor. Another user who echoed the similar sentiments wrote, “Shame on you who just want entertainment in the name of deaths.”
However, many fans of Shehnaaz jump to her defence, pointing out that grief and remembrance take different forms for everyone, and it is extremely personal to each one. One user in Shehnaaz`s defence said that if she had brought up Siddharth`s dinner post, people would have accused her of using his name for sympathy. Another pointed out that she should not be expected to mourn publicly to prove her emotions.
