Indira Krishnan Faced Trolling for Playing Ranbir’s Mother, Received Inappropriate Questions
Bhopal:
Actress Indira Krishnan, who plays Goddess Kaushalya, the mother of Lord Ram, in the upcoming film Ramayana, has spoken openly about the online trolling surrounding Ranbir Kapoor's casting as Lord Ram. She revealed that she too received several offensive messages on social media after Ranbir was chosen for the role. Some users questioned how she could portray the mother of an actor they described as someone who eats beef.
In a recent interview, Indira explained that the controversy intensified after remarks from Ranbir's old 2011 interview resurfaced. In that interview, the actor had reportedly described himself as fond of beef. Following this, questions were raised on social media about his suitability for portraying Lord Ram. The criticism also affected other members of the film's cast.
Praising Ranbir's conduct, Indira said that despite facing criticism and online trolling, he never reacted publicly. Instead, he quietly arrived on the sets and focused on his work. According to her, Ranbir consistently gave his best to the film. She also suggested that some of the trolling might have been organised or paid for, although no evidence has emerged to support this claim.
Indira further revealed that Ranbir adopted a vegetarian diet during the film's shoot. He mostly ate fruits on the sets and regularly spent several hours exercising. The actress said it was unfair to judge an artist's performance based on old statements without watching the film.
Directed by Nitesh Tiwari, Ramayana features Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram and Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita. The film has attracted considerable attention, particularly over its casting and portrayal of the epic characters.
