As the curtains draw on 2023, Bollywood reflects on a year filled with triumphs and tumult. While the Indian film industry soared to new heights, controversies, as is often the case, took center stage, fueled by the personal lives of its stars.
Priyanka Chopra’s Bold Revelation Draws Trolls to Karan Johar
Early in the year, Priyanka Chopra, during her visit to Mumbai to promote her Prime show “Citadel,” candidly shared her struggles in coping with the demands of Bollywood. Her revelation about feeling cornered in the industry invited a barrage of trolls targeting none other than Karan Johar. Allegations of sabotaging careers and unearthing an old video where Johar supposedly spoke about ‘murdering’ Anushka Sharma’s career added fuel to the fire. In response, Johar, ever the wordsmith, took to his Instagram, poetically shutting down the trolls and asserting his resilience.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Faces Age-Shaming, Emerges Victorious
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, a timeless beauty, found herself a victim of age-shaming on social media. Despite trolls hurling insults, including accusations of botox use and weight gain, the actress stood tall and stunning at the Paris Fashion Week 2023. Aishwarya, who shared the stage with international figures like Kendall Jenner and Viola Davis, proved that grace triumphs over online negativity.
Deepika-Ranveer’s Heartfelt Confessions on Koffee With Karan 8
The eighth season of “Koffee With Karan” brought power couple Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh as its inaugural guests. The duo opened up about modern relationships, mental health, and their personal journey. Deepika’s revelation of ‘seeing other people’ while mentally committed to Ranveer sparked controversy and unnecessary trolling. The couple, undeterred, continued to pour their hearts out, emphasizing the complexities of contemporary relationships.
Alia Bhatt’s Lipstick Creates Social Media Storm
In a bizarre turn of events, Alia Bhatt’s lipstick became the focal point of social media backlash. Sharing her makeup routine with Vogue, Alia mentioned how Ranbir Kapoor prefers the natural color of her lips. This innocent statement led to trolls labeling Ranbir as ‘toxic’ and ‘controlling.’ The incident shed light on the hypersensitivity around celebrity lives and the absurdity of scrutinizing even the most mundane details.
As 2023 bids adieu, Bollywood remains a constant source of entertainment, both on and off-screen. The industry’s ability to weather storms and emerge stronger is a testament to its resilience in the face of controversies.
