Bollywood actress Kiara Advani, who is currently gearing up for her upcoming film Game Changer alongside Ram Charan, found herself at the center of controversy. The actress shared a behind-the-scenes video from a dance rehearsal on social media. In the video, she praised choreographer Jani Master, who has been accused under the POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offenses) Act for sexual harassment and mental abuse of a former employee.
Social media users reacted sharply, criticizing Kiara for overlooking the allegations against Jani Master. Comments ranged from questioning her ethics to accusing Bollywood celebrities of supporting criminals. One user wrote, “No star is innocent; they all support offenders in some way.”
Immediate Damage Control
Following the backlash, Kiara’s team edited the caption, removing Jani Master’s name and deleting negative comments. However, the incident has already sparked heated debates on social media, with many questioning the moral responsibility of public figures.
In the original video, Kiara was seen rehearsing with two other dancers to the song Dhop from Game Changer. While her performance showcased a difficult dance step, the focus shifted to Jani Master’s alleged misconduct. It is worth noting that the allegations against Jani Master were filed in September by Cyberabad’s Narsingi police under the POCSO Act.
Kiara has yet to address the controversy directly, but the incident serves as a reminder of how actions in the digital age can swiftly escalate public scrutiny.
