Bollywood actress Dia Mirza<\/a>, recognized for her strong commitment to environmental issues and various important causes, recently faced significant online criticism after a segment from Soha Ali Khan<\/a>\u2019s podcast gained attention. In the clip, she recounted how her 5-year-old son Avyaan Azaad Rekhi<\/a> firmly objected to a coconut seller using plastic straws and bags. Dia shared that he kindly admonished the vendor, stating, “Plastic is not allowed in our home, take it back.” While this comment aimed to showcase the child’s environmental awareness, it was met with backlash from netizens who labeled it as “privileged.” In light of the criticism, actress Richa Chadha<\/a> has publicly supported Dia.<\/div>\n

Richa defended Dia<\/a> in a comprehensive post, questioning why celebrities often face backlash for voicing their opinions on important matters. She noted that public figures frequently find themselves in a “damned if you do, damned if you don\u2019t” predicament, where they are either condemned for their silence or for sharing their views. Richa emphasized that ongoing online harassment and scrutiny can have detrimental effects on mental well-being. She remarked that persistent trolling and public pressure can be profoundly harmful.<\/div>\n

Richa also highlighted Dia’s active participation in environmental initiatives, including her collaboration with a bamboo paper company that advocates for alternatives to traditional paper and a plastic recycling startup that produces sustainable items like sunglasses. She mentioned Dia\u2019s role in producing a climate-oriented short film that is scheduled to be presented at an event in Mumbai. “Check these things out, because if you can bully a 5 year old, you can also run a basic google search na,” wrote the Fukrey actress.<\/p>\n

After encouraging individuals to look past assumptions and verify information before engaging in online criticism or trolling, she added that Dia has also been involved in ecological restoration efforts, including gifting trees as part of personal initiatives that have inspired similar actions.<\/p>\n

Richa concluded by emphasizing that those who strive for social or environmental causes often do so at personal risk and under public scrutiny, and stated that rather than discouraging their efforts, society should recognize their contributions more responsibly.<\/p>\n

She was responding to a critical tweet trolling Dia<\/a> and her son for his stance against plastic use. She also humorously suggested that the individual start a blog to express such opinions about the actress directly.<\/div>\n

Meanwhile, Dia has not yet addressed the ongoing controversy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
