Ridhi Dogra defends her stand post Pahalgam attack backlash, urging peace and dignity amid trolls targeting her film collaboration

Abir Gulaal stars Fawad Khan and Vaani Kapoor in the lead roles, but there are other actors in the movie who play pivotal characters. One of them is Ridhi Dogra. After the Pahalgam terrorist attack, the actress shared a note in which she wrote, “I think it’s about time the good Muslims stepped up and rejected the monsters and called them out!” This post of the actress didn’t go down well with a few netizens, and they started trolling her for working with Pakistani actor Fawad. However, Ridhi gave a befitting reply to the troll.

The Jawan actress wrote, “I DID when my govt allowed it. And I stand by the laws and rules.. But I also know Peace, Grace and Harmony is important for a healthy civilization. Yes there’s duality in these words but that is the very life we lead. On this earth.”

She further posted, “I am a daughter of J&K where this happened and am well aware of the history of such monstrous crimes . Over many years. it boils my blood too that’s why I even try and speak to you all as fellow country men. I won’t keep quiet just because of my profession I choose peaceful collaboration. So don’t waste your anger on me. I’m as angry as everyone. I just choose to remain dignified towards others. Anyway. This is not about me. But we’re all angry. I am just as everyone else.”
