Riddhima Kapoor defends brother Ranbir against misogyny claims
Riddhima Kapoor responds to online misogyny claims, defending her brother Ranbir and Alia's relationship, emphasizing their happiness and strong bond.
Last year, Pakistani actor Mahira Khan was brutally trolled as her photographs in which she was seen smoking with Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor in New York went viral. She was trolled for smoking as well for wearing a short dress.
Recently, another video of her went viral in which she is smoking at an event. But this time, many people came forth in support of Mahira Khan.
Here’s the video:

While one wrote, “#MahiraKhan #Smoking
I personally don’t like smoking, but we should let her live
her life, because she has gone a long distance and alone perhaps their are no
parameters for celebrity’s??”

Another wrote, “ How is it anyone’s business whether #mahirakhan smokes or not? Smoking is a personal choice. Get a life. What is condemnable is the loser who made the sneaky video”. Another wrote, “She is a normal human being. She can do stuff in her life like a normal person. If she smokes, she does. Why we ppl have a say in it hun? Oh my a god she is a woman & she is smoking! U know what, if smoking is a sin then it is a sin for a man & a woman equally.”
Many comments were against the actress also, “No one ever made for a pleasant site while smoking, ever. But the kind of people I see commenting on #Mahira viral video, they are more likely to have Ashtrays in place of lungs by now, and quite a few of them have been smoking with least regard for public places #MahiraKhan”.
Here are some of the reactions:
why do pakistanis think that a woman smoking is such a big deal.I am not a fan of #MahiraKhan but that doesn’t mean i ridicule her for smoking or anything else she does. Us ne apni qabar mai jaana hai and baki sub ne apni mai. look at ur own deeds first.

The ones who are displaying their wraths upon this post. I have a message for them. First of all, 46% men & 5.7% women in Pakistan smokes which I suppose should have been raised by now as these are old figures.

A few days back Mahira said she had felt violated after her photographs while smoking with Ranbir Kapoor had become a topic for debate. “That was the first time in my entire career that I was caught up in a so-called controversy and it was strange because there were so many things in that. One, obviously you feel violated, you are in a personal downtime moment and someone has just photographed you,” she said.
