This time it’s the first lady of Bollywood, Gauri Khan, who is getting trolled for what she wore at her husband Shah Rukh Khan’s birthday party.
Shah Rukh, who turned 53, threw a grand birthday bash in Alibaug, which was attended by a number of Bollywood A-listers. The guests and hosts posted innumerable pictures of the fun evening. The party started even before the sun went down, so the stars were glimpsed in their casual summer wear and later changed into their designer wear for the glam evening.
Gauri Khan was donning a transparent white dress paired with a fuchsia bikini - and that was enough to get the trolls’ blood boiing. She was accused of “not dressing according to her age”. Apparently deeply offended by the sight of an adult woman not adhering to an imagined dress code, and reminding her who she’s married to (in case she had forgotten?), the trolls piled on:
This is not the first time that a celebrity has been trolled for the clothes she wears. Actresses like Fatima Sana Shaikh, Taapsee Pannu, Esha Gupta, Soha Ali Khan are few others have been slut-shamed in the recent past. It’s good to see Bollywood’s ladies wearing exactly what they want to, despite the tiresome trolling.
