Actress Hina Khan has appealed to her fans and well-wishers to choose ‘kindness and compassion’ over hatred amid her ongoing social media spat with fellow television actress Shilpa Shinde.
Taking to her social media account, Hina shared a lengthy note urging her followers not to indulge in trolling or hateful behaviour, even while supporting her views. The actress, without taking any name, stressed that disagreements can be expressed firmly without crossing the line into personal attacks.
Sharing the message, Hina wrote, “We all make mistakes and we all evolve with time. I read some tweets here and there. I have always chosen kindness, love and humanity over hatred. If you are my fan and a well-wisher, I urge you to act with the same firmness and clarity.
Without being hateful and curt towards others, without acting like mindless and conscienceless trolls. We shall not stoop low to make a point. We can do it without being inhuman or hateful. We can always put out our point but with a lot of grace and still be effective. Compassion and love should be our strength.
If you don’t do it and act like those who spread meaningless hatred and troll, I will block you, even if you are my fan. And I mean it. I only want positivity and peace for me as well as for my dear ones. And you all are very dear to me. Please be kind.”
For the uninitiated, Hina’s message comes days after she strongly criticised Shilpa Shinde over the latter’s admission that she had filed a false sexual harassment complaint against ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain’ producer Sanjay Kohli nearly a decade ago.
In a podcast hosted by power couple Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiyaa, Shilpa revealed that the allegations she had levelled against Kohli during their highly publicised dispute were false.
Reacting to the revelation, Hina had called the confession “absolutely shameful” and described Sanjay Kohli as the “real victim” in the matter. She had also gone on to express concerns over the impact such admissions could have on genuine victims of harassment and abuse.
The exchange soon escalated, with Shilpa appearing to take an indirect dig at Hina through social media videos and remarks.
Without naming Hina, Shilpa suggested that some people seek publicity through their illnesses and advised them to focus on their health instead.(Agency)
