Samiksha Pednekar, the sister of Bollywood actress Bhumi Pednekar, recently found herself in the middle of a social media storm. The sisters had shared a playful makeup video on Instagram, where they were seen applying lipstick and enjoying a light-hearted moment together. The video was captioned "Me and my best friend,". However, not all the reactions were positive.
Some social media users left harsh comments on the post, criticizing their appearances. One comment suggested that the similarity in their looks was due to having the same ‘plastic surgeon’, rather than their familial relationship. To this, Samiksha gave it back to trolls with a witty response, "Or same parents? Maybe?"
Another user mocked them by quoting lyrics from a popular song, "Life in plastic, it's fantastic," to which Samiksha retorted, "What plastic?"
Despite these negative remarks, many fans came to their defence, praising the sisters for their beauty and strong bond. Some even commented on how alike they looked, joking that they could pass for twins. Samiksha engaged with these lighter comments with good humour, appreciating the positive feedback.
This isn’t the first-time celebrities have faced online trolls, and it likely won’t be the last.
On a professional note, Bhumi Pednekar has been busy with her acting career. She was recently seen playing a journalist in the movie 'Bhakshak'. Directed by Pulkit, and produced by Gauri Khan and Gaurav Verma, the film also stars notable actors like Sanjay Mishra, Aditya Srivastava, and Sai Tamhankar. 'Bhakshak' is part of Bhumi’s growing portfolio of films where she often portrays strong, dynamic characters.
Public figures like Samiksha and Bhumi Pednekar navigate these waters daily, balancing their public personas with their personal lives, often in the face of unwarranted criticism.
