Ramayan's Dipika Chikhlia On Getting Trolled For Her School Uniform Picture: It Was A Mistake
Doordarshan's mythological show Ramayan and it's characters are still loved by fans. If the actors are seen in bold avatar, they face trolling, as they have that particular image in their mind and do not want their idols to be seen in any other avatar. The same thing happened with Dipika Chikhlia, who became a household name with her role of Sita in Ramayan.
Recently,
the
actress
had
shared
a
few
pictures
with
her
friends
in
which
she
was
seen
wearing
a
white
shirt,
skirt,
sneakers
and
a
necktie.
Dipika
was
trolled
for
the
same
and
some
even
advised
her
not
to
wear
such
clothes
as
they
idolise
her
as
'devi'.
In
one
of
the
pictures,
she
was
also
seen
holding
a
drink,
which
made
many
ask
what
is
she
drinking.
Dipika
has
deleted
the
pictures
and
has
reacted
to
trolls.
In an interview with ETimes TV, the actress said that she never wants to hurt her fans and posting those pictures was a mistake.
When asked if she expected that she would be trolled after putting up a picture in school uniform, she said that she didn't expect it and if she had, she wouldn't have posted the pictures.
She realised that people had got unhappy and there's enough happening in the world, and thought why add one more issue, hence, deleted the pictures.
She said, "I am feeling bad that I have been trolled. I am feeling bad that I have hurt my fans' sentiments. I am aware that people see me as Sita and not as Dipika. I am not justifying what I have done. I am clear that it was a mistake on my part. I am not trying to evade my larger-than-life image and explain that main insaan hoon."
She also clarified that she was not drinking alcohol and is not into alcohol. The actress added that it was just a small get-together between old friends getting into a nostalgic mood.
Dipika concluded by saying, "People don't see me as a human being and an actor. But it has a flip side. I do get work. I get invited to many events. I don't go dressed up as Sita in those events. You will always see me in a saree. I love sarees. I also feel that I look the best in saree."
