Actor Ankita Lokhande has landed in the middle of a social media storm after sharing glimpses from her Abu Dhabi getaway with husband Vicky Jain. The actor faced trolling for wearing a hijab in some of the pictures, sparking heated reactions across platforms.
However, Ankita’s fans were quick to rally behind her, slamming the negativity and extending support to the actor amid the backlash.
Ankita took to Instagram on Thursday to post pictures from her vacation in Abu Dhabi. In the carousel post, Ankita is seen wearing a hijab in more than one picture while exploring Abu Dhabi with Vicky Jain.
As soon as her post surfaced on Instagram, a large section of social media users started questioning her. One comment read, “Why is she wearing a hijaab?”, with another writing, “Is she Muslim???”
Following the trolling, several fans flooded the comment section with messages of support for Ankita, defending the actor against the online backlash. They also noted that she shared several photographs from the same outing without the hijab after leaving the mosque premises.
“If Hindus want to be secular, ok. If they don’t then that’s okay too”, with another sharing, “How abt minding your own damn business?! If you don't know the rules of this mosque better shut up and stop shoving your negativity regarding religions everywhere.”
“Bro she is not showing whether she is secular or not…its compulsory there,” one fan wrote. Another shared, “She is not promoting Muslim culture .she is enjoying the beautiful monument and for your statement about hijab most girls cover their head and face cz of summer heat so are they all promoting Islam??”
“Her choice,” one wrote, with another mentioning, “It's her choice”. “You got so triggered on one post, wowww what a mentality,” one wrote.
