Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty recently attended a spiritual padyatra (foot march) led by spiritual leader Dhirendra Krishna Shastri. Soon after photos and videos from the event appeared online, she began facing strong trolling and criticism on social media.
Many people questioned her intentions and claimed she was using the spiritual gathering to create a positive image for herself. Some social media users suggested that her participation was more about publicity than genuine belief. They criticised her for mixing faith with fame, especially at a time when her family has faced several legal and media controversies.
Shilpa’s husband, Raj Kundra, came forward to defend her. He said that people are making unfair assumptions and that their faith and devotion should not be mocked. He strongly stated that supporting Sanatan Dharma and taking part in spiritual events is a personal choice and should not be seen as a tactic to gain sympathy or attention.
He also mentioned that trolling and false accusations have become common for them, but they will continue to stand by their beliefs. According to him, truth always wins in the end, and people should not judge without understanding the full story.
Some social media users supported Shilpa Shetty, saying she has every right to follow her faith openly. They argued that attending religious events does not always mean seeking publicity. They felt the harsh comments were disrespectful and unnecessary.
This incident has added to the ongoing debate about celebrities and their involvement in religious and spiritual activities. While some believe that public figures should be careful about how their actions are seen, others say that faith is a personal matter and should not be mocked or questioned.
As the discussion continues, one thing is clear – in today’s social media age, every action by celebrities is closely watched, judged, and often misunderstood.
