Renuka Shahane, the sanskari bahu from Hum Aapke Hain Kaun, is now a bold blogger, known for her logical and fearless views. In a LIVE Facebook session with the Mumbai team of The Quint, she said that she would have filed a complaint against Raj Thackeray, if she were in Karan Johar’s place. Renuka thinks there was no need for Karan to apologise as he had done nothing illegal.

With her charming smile intact, the actress lamented that people expect actors to just look beautiful but not express their opinion. She thought that Bollywood didn’t come together to support Karan Johar as there was fear of being seen as anti-national.

Thanks to her contrarian views, Renuka receives a lot of backlash on social media and she tries to debate with some of them as she believes that even trolls are good people in their personal lives. To those who receive online abuse, she had this advice: Learn to ignore and if it’s serious, file a compliant!
