Actor Dimple Hayathi has strongly responded to social media users who questioned her support for Janhvi Kapoor amid the ongoing controversy surrounding the upcoming film Peddi. The backlash began after criticism emerged over Janhvi Kapoor’s portrayal in the film, with some viewers alleging that her character was unnecessarily sexualized. While the debate gained momentum online, Dimple publicly extended her support to Janhvi, drawing criticism from a section of social media users.
Taking to her social media accounts, Dimple shared a series of posts addressing the trolling and defending her stance. She urged people to stop making assumptions and spreading negativity, stating that supporting a fellow actor should not become a reason for personal attacks. In one of her posts, she told critics to “take a chill pill,” emphasizing that everyone is entitled to their opinions and that online discussions should remain respectful rather than turning into targeted harassment.
The controversy surrounding Peddi has continued to generate discussion across social media platforms, with fans and critics divided over the film’s promotional content and character portrayals. While some users have supported Dimple Hayathi’s call for civility, others have continued to debate the broader issues raised by the criticism of the film. Neither Janhvi Kapoor nor the makers of Peddi have made any fresh statements regarding Dimple’s comments, but the incident has once again highlighted the intense scrutiny celebrities face on social media.
