An Instagram post aimed at ridiculing actress Chahat Pandey has backfired spectacularly, with Tajinder Bagga stepping up to defend his friend like a true ally. The post, which shared a video of Chahat dancing to the iconic “Kaliyon Ka Chaman,” sarcastically captioned her as “Sanskari Chahat Pandey” in an attempt to mock her. However, the trolling attempt drew widespread criticism for its narrow-mindedness and unnecessary targeting of the actress.
Social Media Slams the Trolls
The post attracted backlash from netizens who found the ridicule baseless. Comments poured in criticising the obsession with judging women’s morality based on their attire or actions. A user aptly pointed out, “Some Indians and their obsession with judging women’s Sanskar based on her clothes.” Another wrote, “Since when enjoying with friends became non-sanskari? Grow up.”
However, the most impactful response came from Tajinder Bagga, who defended Chahat with conviction. Tajinder, who developed a strong friendship with Chahat during their stint on Bigg Boss 18, commented, “What’s ‘unsanskari’ in this? Stop using others’ lives as bait for views.”
Chahat Pandey’s Pool Video Controversy
This incident comes on the heels of another controversy involving Chahat, stemming from her time in Bigg Boss 18. A pool video featuring Chahat with her younger brother had been twisted into a narrative that questioned her character. During the show, Salman Khan referenced the video vaguely and suggestively, which led to widespread misinterpretations.
In a subsequent statement, Chahat clarified, “That boy in the pool video is my younger brother, Sahas. It was a family outing, but the way Salman sir spoke about it, people took it seriously. I request that people verify facts before forming opinions.”
