'Adultery Is A Moral Choice', Neha Dhupia Stands Her Ground, Opens Up About Roadies Controversy
Neha Dhupia has responded to two weeks of merciless trolling for her opinion on a girl choosing to cheat on her boyfriend with 5 other men during auditions for the show Roadies Revolution. The actor took to Instagram to speak her mind in a carefully worded statement.
After two weeks of merciless trolling that Neha Dhupia had to encounter for her opinion on a girl choosing to cheat on her boyfriend with 5 other men during auditions for the show Roadies Revolution, the actor has responded with an intelligent and dignified statement last night.
Neha Dhupia took to Instagram to speak her mind in a carefully worded statement and shared it with her 3.9 million followers. She wrote how she was silent but when trolling reached her family and her daughter, that's when she decided to defend herself.
Responding to the trolls, Neha wrote: ¡°Roadies is a show that I have been a part of for five years and enjoyed every bit of it. It takes me all over India and gives me the opportunity to team up with absolute rock stars from all parts of the country. What I do not like or accept is what is happening for more than two weeks now! Recently during one of the episodes that aired, I took a stand against violence."
She went on to write, ¡°A guy talked about his partner who cheated on him (allegedly) and in retaliation, he hit her by his own admission. What the girl did is a choice she made which is a moral choice regardless of someone, man or woman... adultery is a moral choice. Cheating is not something I stand for, and it is unfortunate that I have been misrepresented for the same... but what I do stand for is women¡¯s safety.¡±
And there is a point in Dhupia's note where you start to understand the magnitude of how people cross boundaries and take threats and abuses to unwarranted family members that have nothing to do with the entire controversy.
"Sadly, as a reaction to my opinion, I have been subjected to weeks of vitriol. One of my posts had over 56k comments! Yet I was silent but now people close to me who have nothing to do with this ¡ª my family, my friends, my co-workers, and even my dad¡¯s personal WhatsApp are being flooded with abuses and harassment. My daughter¡¯s page is nothing less than a barrage of abuses and this is not acceptable to me,¡± Neha added.
It was heart-warming to see how other celebrities from Karan Johar to Sonam Kapoor stood in support for Neha Dhupia. Check them out below!
In life, we will always come across people who hold different opinions and see the world in a different light than you. Does that mean they should be subjected to harassment and abuses? One must remember that celebrities are humans at the end of the day and don't deserve such hostile treatment. If cheating is gender neutral for Neha Dhupia and ranks lower than physical abuse, so be it. Agree to disagree and move on.
