Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
Ever since Tabaahi, the first song from Yash-starrer Toxic, was rolled out, its female lead, Kiara Advani , has been inundated with unsavoury comments over the intimate and sensual scenes in the song’s music video. Over time, the comments spilt over to her husband, star Sidharth Malhotra ’s Instagram posts as well. Now, after the hate made its way to Sidharth’s sweet birthday post for his wife, the internet decided it was enough and stood up for the star couple.
Adding to this, Sidharth Malhotra and Kiara Advani of late became parents to a baby girl. (AFP) Sidharth Malhotra’s post for Kiara sees unwarranted comments On Friday, as Kiara turned 33, Sidharth posted on Instagram to share a sweet unseen picture of his wife, and wrote, “Happy birthday to the one who makes every day a little sweeter…even when she’s stealing my ice cream.” The picture showed Kiara, dressed in a pink salwar kameez, eating an ice cream cone. While many comments on the picture were congratulatory and appreciative, there was a lot of hate too.

Notably, A Reddit post claimed that Sidharth had restricted comments on his Instagram account due to the hateful comments. However, the comments on Sidharth’s posts stay open. Yet, many on Reddit jumped to the star couple’s defence. “Most of these men making these disgusting comments are super misogynistic. They claim men like Siddharth who support wives are simps while being incels themselves. Meanwhile, they will root for characters like Kabir Singh who f***s around without a care, or even actors who, though they are married, are still doing intimate scenes,” wrote one. Another comment read: “It's sad. They keep pestering on old posts of them too, I have noticed.”
As per the latest buzz, Many others called out the double standards of only targeting the women in such cases. “It doesn't make sense either. He did such scenes with Janhvi; no one shamed him for it, and when Kiara does it, it suddenly becomes a problem for everyone,” wrote one. Another added, “And if that is so bad, why is no one shaming Yash for it. He is married with two kids.”

The movie stars Yash alongside five female leads: Kiara, Nayanthara, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth, and Huma Qureshi.
