In an EXCLUSIVE conversation with BollywoodLife, Anita opened up about her outburst on Twitter
Anita Hassanandani became a household name when she first appeared as Tanushree in Kabhi Sautan Kabhi Saheli and has won a million hearts over the years with her girl-next-door image. But the actress surprised everyone with her stint as the evil vamp, Shagun on Yeh Hai Mohabbatein. It is no wonder that she has such a huge fan following. But one major drawback of being a celebrity is that it’s not love alone that comes your way; you are also subject to a lot of criticism for your character and its portrayal. And the actress is extremely sporting when it comes to criticism, it’s when haters get personal that she can’t bare.
For the current track where she’s about to play a surrogate mother to Raman and Ishita’s child, the actress has been receiving a lot of flak including some extremely unwanted and uncalled for jibes. These comments latter took on a personal turn when haters started to bad mouth her husband, Rohit Reddy, and her friend, Ankita Bhargava, and a few others. This is when the actress decided to break her silence and give it back to her haters for hitting below the belt.
The actress EXCLUSIVELY spoke to BollywoodLife about the incident saying, “I don’t have a problem with people commenting on my character, but I definitely have a problem with people commenting on my personal life and my friends. That’s why I lost my cool.”
Further talking about her character and the current track, the actress said, “I’m very happy with my track. I love that my character has so many shades. It’s getting harder and more challenging now. Most people like my character, there are just a few… I don’t know.”
Well, can’t say we blame the actress for her outburst. Having an opinion about a character or an actor’s talent is acceptable but to take things to a personal level is a low blow.
