For most of us Sonarika Bhadoria is known less through her real name, and more as television's beautiful Parvati. Her divine act and beautiful chemistry with co-actor Mohit 'Shiva' Raina in Devon ke Dev...Mahadev, is still a reference point whenever any mythological show is talked about. She played the Goddess for a year and we won't be wrong in saying that she literally gave a face to Parvati in our minds.

After she left the show she has been working in Telugu films. She recently planned to take a break and went on a beach vacation. Sonarika even posted some sizzling pictures clad in a bikini on her Instagram handle. Needless to say her toned beach body was too hot to handle. We are sure she expected fans to gape and admire her snaps.
But what she got in return was something she definitely did not bargain for - HATE! As much as we admire her summer look, many found it unacceptable. She was mocked for playing Parvati, criticised for her choice of clothes and even verbally abused. From questions on how a 'Goddess' had the audacity to don a bikini, to her move to wear skimpy clothes because they have seen her in traditional avatar on television, the trolling continued for an entire day.?
It pissed Sonarika off so much that she deleted the picture. The 23-year-old actress also posted a fitting reply for her haters comparing the fiasco with the West and how it was calling out body shaming. She said she wasn't mature enough to handle the criticism hence she is taking off the picture from her handle.
Though we are glad she made a point, the kind of reaction she received, only proves where we stand in our thoughts and why we can't remove the tag of living in a hypocritical society!?
