Mumbai: Trolls have seemingly unleashed a war on social media against television actor Jay Bhanushali and Mahhi Vij’s daughter Tara for offering Namaz.
Jay and Mahhi posted an adorable video of Tara on her Instagram handle on July 24, 2023. Tara was seen in the video offering Namaz while dressed in a printed kaftan and sporting a simple ponytail. The post was captioned “Shukran” with a folded hands emoji by the proud parents.
While many social media users flooded the comments section with love and support, the video, unfortunately, trolls had their field day and accused the couple of betraying their Hindu religion.
On July 25, 2023, Mahhi Vij posted another video of herself and Tara visiting a temple on her daughter’s Instagram account. Tara was seen praying to the deity with her hands folded in front of her. Mahhi gracefully responded to the trolls in her caption, expressing her disappointment with their hateful comments.
She defended her daughter’s right to practice her faith and urged haters to unfollow Tara if they weren’t capable of spreading love and positivity. She wrote, “Yeh un bakwaas logon ke liye ji hone dharm ko majak bana diya hai. You can unfollow Tara she doesn’t want haters. As a mother, i know what i am teaching Good luck to chothi soch wale log please get a life. Sad to see so much hatred. Meri beti ki chinta mat karo apne bachon ko sikhao.”
Jay and Mahhi’s resolute response to the trolls sends a powerful message about standing up to negativity and embracing diversity. The couple hopes that by focusing on raising their children with love and respect, they will inspire others to do the same.
