Shikha Singh aka Aaliya of Kumkum
Bhagya fame, has won her recent
battle against a troll who had commented
indecently on her Instagram picture post.
Says Shikha, "He has tendered a written
apology. Had I filed an FIR, he would have
been jailed. But I just wanted him to
realize his mistake and also make his
family and colleagues aware of what kind
of a person he is.
Shikha, who has been around for the past
10 years, admits that many people might
have thought that she did what she did, to
garner publicity. "But I don't care, as it
was important to stand up and name and
shame these perverts. If we, as public
figures, don't speak out, what about lay
females out there who are constantly
body-shamed and humiliated online.
Ironically, all this is happening in a country
where we talk about culture and values.
Her other known shows include Left Right
Left, 2612, Na Aana Is Des Laado, Sasural
Simar Ka, etc.
"I am happy to announce that, following
my footsteps, other girls too have posted
provocative messages received by them,
thereby putting the senders in the dock,
she adds on.
What is your take on social media
posting? "It is your prerogative to post
pictures wearing a bikini or nothing, as
long as you're comfortable.
"I myself might post a close moment with
my hubby. This is my personal space. If
you don't like my posts, don't come on my
profile. Why comment unnecessarily?
"But yes, when I post racy pictures, I make
sure to write that it is not necessary to
have an hour-glass figure to wear a bikini;
what matters is health. Sadly, many men
see our pictures and expect their wives
and girlfriends to look similar, which is
not always possible. Our biggest problem
is that we poke our noses in other
people's internal affairs. The day we start
to mind our own matters, India will be a
much better place to live in. I was lucky
that my family supported me. All they told
me was to be careful, as the other guy
was an officer. Normally, most Indian
families would have blamed the girl,
saying you must have done something to
have instigated him in the first place.
Three cheers to your gutsy move, Shikha!!
