Veteran actor Anupam Kher recently spoke out against the growing culture of trolling on social media, highlighting the negativity directed at celebrities simply to grab attention. He expressed pity for people who make it a habit to criticize public figures and joked that some might even be paid to troll, hinting at the commercialization of online negativity. According to Kher, social media often amplifies superficial judgments rather than meaningful discussion, creating an environment where criticism overshadows appreciation.
In the context of actress Alia Bhatt, who faced scrutiny for her appearance at the Cannes Film Festival 2026, Kher offered his full support. He praised Alia for confidently representing India on a global stage and handling criticism with poise and maturity. He emphasized that successful stars know how to deal with public scrutiny without letting negativity affect their craft or personal morale. Kher suggested that resilience and professionalism are essential traits for any actor navigating the complex intersection of fame and public perception.
Beyond social media commentary, Anupam Kher reflected on his own professional journey, particularly the joy he derives from theatre. He is currently performing in his play "Jaane Pehchaane Anjane," which he says keeps him energetic, motivated, and fully engaged as an actor. Kher explained that theatre provides a unique platform for creative expression and a direct connection with audiences, free from the distortions and impulsive judgments that often occur on online platforms.
He also highlighted the broader lessons for aspiring actors: staying focused on one’s craft, cultivating confidence, and learning to handle criticism with dignity. Alia Bhatt’s example of responding to online negativity with maturity illustrates the importance of maintaining professionalism in the spotlight. Kher concluded that while public scrutiny is inevitable in the entertainment industry, true success depends on dedication, emotional resilience, and a commitment to one’s art, rather than reacting impulsively to social media commentary.
