Huma's Got Kiara's Back Against Online Trolls

Trolls came for Kiara's intimate scenes. Huma Qureshi had other plans.

Huma Qureshi just became everyone’s favorite ally in the ongoing Toxic’s Tabaahi controversy. The actress stepped in to publicly defend Kiara Advani against trolls criticizing her intimate scenes with Yash, calling out the hate as ‘sick and disgusting’ and refusing to stay silent.

As per reports doing the rounds in the Indian media, the debate has been heating up online in recent days, with critics zeroing in on Kiara for the scenes featured in the film. But Huma wasn’t willing to let the pile-on continue unchecked. Rather than scroll past, she called out what she sees as blatant hypocrisy and publicly doubled down on her support for her fellow actress.

Kiara herself has remained completely unbothered by the drama swirling around her. According to industry chatter, she’s supremely confident that women will have the last laugh, a powerful and timely sentiment in an industry where actresses have long faced double standards for their role choices.

This is vintage Bollywood solidarity. GaraMasalaFM’s cameras and sources are watching where this goes next.
