Public figures, particularly celebrities, face relentless scrutiny from the media and are subject to judgment from a multitude of individuals, even for the most trivial actions. This constant attention often exposes them to regressive and hurtful comments on social media platforms. Navigating the realm of public life is undeniably challenging, especially in a diverse country with a plethora of viewpoints and cultural backgrounds.
Recently, Shah Rukh Khan and his children have fallen victim to the harsh realities of online trolling. Suhana Khan, Shah Rukh’s daughter, is no stranger to criticism, with people unfairly assessing her based on her skin tone and physical appearance. Unfortunately, Suhana has previously faced negative scrutiny, particularly in relation to her participation in an advertisement for a prominent cosmetic brand.
An image of Suhana participating in a lipstick advertisement surfaced on Reddit, which prompted online users to direct their criticism towards the brand for presenting her with a lighter complexion.
A Reddit user posted the image along with the following caption:
“Suhana Khan colour corrected pro max. She looks like Ankita Lokhande.”
The image quickly gained viral status, and online users, commonly referred to as netizens, expressed widespread criticism aimed at both the brand and Suhana for her involvement in the advertisement.
In a recent incident, a video shared on Twitter featuring actor Shah Rukh Khan enjoying a joyful day at the beach with his children garnered negative feedback.
The video, previously available on the ‘X’ platform (name omitted), showcased Shah Rukh Khan accompanied by his three children, Suhana, Aryan, and AbRam, having a relaxing time by the ocean. In the video, Shah Rukh can be observed wearing a life jacket and engaging in beach activities with his kids.
Unfortunately, the individual who posted the video seemed intent on tarnishing the happy family scene involving Shah Rukh Khan. A Twitter user with the handle @salmaniac77 shared the video and drew attention to Suhana Khan’s bikini, making critical remarks in the caption.
“#ShahRukhKhan enjoying bath with his daughter, this doesn’t happen in our Indian culture.”
This post ignited a vigorous debate and evoked a passionate response from fans of Shah Rukh Khan. The comment section was inundated with messages from netizens rallying behind the actor.
Here are a few excerpts from the comments of the impassioned fans of Shah Rukh Khan:
It appears that the individual attempting to tarnish the reputation of Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana has experienced an unforeseen backlash. He certainly should have exercised more caution before sharing the video featuring one of the most adored actors, along with an insensitive and inappropriate caption. This incident highlights the questionable nature of his thoughts and intentions.
