Manushi Chhillar Shuts Down Trolls Over Diljit Dosanjh’s ‘Kufar’
Former Miss World and Bollywood actress Manushi Chhillar has become a beacon of poise amid online toxicity after facing backlash for praising Diljit Dosanjh’s latest track, ‘Kufar’. Her sharp yet graceful response to trolls has gone viral, earning widespread applause.
Why ‘Kufar’ Sparked Controversy
Diljit Dosanjh’s ‘Kufar’—a high-energy Punjabi hit—debuted to massive fanfare but also drew flak from conservative critics. The song’s bold visuals and lyrics led to polarized reactions, with some accusing it of promoting “vulgarity.”
Manushi added fuel to the fire (unintentionally) by sharing her excitement on Instagram:
“Diljit never disappoints! #Kufar is 🔥.”
Almost instantly, trolls targeted her for “endorsing Western influence,” flooding her comments with hate.
Manushi’s Viral Clapback
Rather than staying silent, Manushi fired back with an Instagram Story that struck the perfect balance between wit and wisdom:
“If not me, someone else would have been trolled. If not this song, it would have been another. Trolls will always find a reason—because that’s what they do best. But art is subjective, and so is perspective. Let’s focus on positivity. P.S. – Still loving #Kufar! 💃”
The post resonated with fans, who praised her for addressing toxicity without stooping to its level.
Why Her Response Matters
Manushi’s stance reflects a growing trend of Bollywood stars refusing to tolerate online bullying. From Deepika Padukone to Alia Bhatt, female celebrities often bear the brunt of gendered trolling. By confronting it head-on, Manushi highlights:
– Artistic freedom shouldn’t be stifled by hate.
– Trolls target women disproportionately—but clapbacks reclaim the narrative.
Fan and Celebrity Reactions
Support poured in across platforms:
– Twitter trends like #StandWithManushi and #KufarRoars surged.
– Fans hailed her as “the unproblematic queen we need.”
– Diljit Dosanjh liked her post, signaling silent solidarity.
The Bigger Issue: Trolling in Bollywood
Experts note that anonymity emboldens trolls, but celebrities like Manushi are flipping the script. Her response underscores:
✔ Ignore or engage? Both are valid, but wit wins.
✔ Gendered trolling remains rampant—calling it out is crucial.
Final Takeaway: Skip the Song, Not the Hate
‘Kufar’ is art—love it, critique it, or skip it. But as Manushi reminds us, hate is always a choice.
