Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty is one of the most beloved actresses in the Hindi film industry. She has made a name for herself with her dance moves and fashion statements. On the occasion of 77th Independence Day, the fitness enthusiast and her family hoisted the Tricolour and shared the video of the same on her Instagram handle. However, a section of the internet was not happy as they spotted her wearing shoes during the event.
Many immediately took to the comment section of her post and mocked her for not knowing the ‘rules’. One ever wrote, “Mam chappal pehene k kon jhanda fehrata h pls aage se Aisa na kare.” A few hours after being trolled, she took to the comment section and schooled all the trollers, without targeting a single comment. She explained how she is aware of the rules of conduct one should follow while hoisting a flag and that the trollers need to check all the facts before commenting on something.

The 48-year-old wrote, “I am aware of the “Rules” of conduct while hoisting the flag, the RESPECT for my country and THE FLAG stems from my heart and not up for questioning. I am a proud Indian. Today’s post was to share and celebrate that emotion. To all the trollers (that I ignore usually) DO NOT appreciate YOU airing your ignorance and spreading negativity on this Day. So get your facts rights and please BACK OFF.” ALSO READ: Robbery At Shilpa Shetty’s Juhu Residence, Valuable And Expensive Items Stolen; Mumbai Police Arrest Two Suspect-Reports
The actress even went as far as to share a screenshot on her Instagram stories of a Google search on if one can hoist the Indian flag with shoes on. The response to the question reads, “The Flag Code of India does not restrict hoisting of the national flag with shoes on.”
On the work front, Shilpa Shetty made her much-awaited on-screen comeback with Hungama 2 and Nikamma. She is currently busy shooting for Rohit Shetty’s upcoming cop drama ‘Indian Police Force’. The web-series also stars Sidharth Malhotra and Vivek Oberoi. For the unversed, Shilpa is the first female cop of the director’s cop universe.
