Khushbu hits back at a ‘Thalaivar 173’ troll; Destroys disrespectful comment, upholds Rajinikanth and Sundar C’s honour |
Within minutes of the announcement of Sundar C‘s exit from Superstar Rajinikanth‘s ‘Thalaivar 173’, unnecessary discussions and memes flooded social media. Instead of discussing the technical reasons for the schedule change, some people started sharing nasty posts mocking Rajinikanth and the situation. One of those posts, which went so far as to insult not only Rajinikanth but also actress Khushbu, sparked a huge controversy. Khushbu’s response to this has now become the biggest topic of conversation on social media.
Vulgar comment targeting Khushbu sparks outrage online
After Sundar C respectfully stepped down, many shared humorous sarcasms such as ‘Aranmanai 5’ memes. But some people crossed that line and started posting nasty comments that even disparaged family members. “Did Rajinikanth ask Khushbu to dance for an item song? That’s why Sundar C walked out of the film,” a netizen’s comment was borderline disgusting and demeaning to women. These lines, written with the intention of deliberately creating gossip, were not just ordinary fan talk, and embarrassed many people.
Khushbu’s sharp comeback goes viral
But Khushbu did not take this in stride. She responded with a sharp, yet not disrespectful, response to the man, as if directly challenging his habit of speaking so derogatorily about women. Her response, “No… we thought we could have someone from your house dance it,” instantly went viral on social media. The response’s courage, humor, and the way it returned the message without unnecessarily insulting anyone earned praise from fans. Khushbu’s action is a strong example of confronting online violence against women.
Khushbu stands firm against personal attacks and misogyny
Through this incident, Khushbu expressed a very clear intention. She doesn’t care how people respond to Sundar C’s departure, but she is sure she won’t tolerate posts that disparage her family or Rajinikanth’s honor. She also stressed the need to avoid making unnecessary accusations. The fact that she did not criticize Rajinikanth or speak ill of Sundar C, but directly attacked the only ugly post that vented her anger against them, reveals the respect and honesty she has in the film industry.
