Priya Malik is once again battling trolls on social
media. The actress, who became a household name thanks to her colourful antics
on Bigg Boss 9, posted a picture on Instagram in support of the Free The Ni**le
campaign.
Priya posted a picture of herself wearing a t-shirt which
had a picture of a woman’s breasts printed on it. She captioned the image:
“Either #freetheni**le for women or ban the ni**le show of men. There are no
two ways about it. #GenderEquality.”
One of the users commented saying “Awfull @priyasometimes! I, us e to Like U When U Were On BiggBoss but for some kind of sasti Shuhrat U’r just ruining the concept of Parda..(sic)”
Interestingly, the actress was constantly online and replied to each comment.
She retaliated saying “Ruining the concept of Parda?
Parda for whom? Parda from what? Parda because you find even a mild exposure of
the female body titillating? If a women chooses to cover, it is her choice. If
she chooses to reveal, it her choice. Not yours.”
Another user commented on the post saying, “Don’t say
women! First just check out how many women here would agree with you on this
topic of freeing ni**les for gender equality. So just keep this to yourself
instead of quoting a whole ‘gender’. There maybe women who agree with you but
their women who would never. And there are so many other major issues over
gender equality and is freeing the ni**le really among them. (sic)?”
Another user opined that it is because of similar
campaigns that women get raped and added: “But men don’t get raped. It’s the
women who are becoming the victims. That’s why they have that freedom.”
One of the users also happens to get abusive, to which
the actress replied saying “If that is your understanding of it, good for you.
Won’t call you a b*****, b****** will get insulted (sic).”
The actress then commented: “The sheer outrage on this
reason enough why it is needed. You roam around the streets half naked posing
as men of God but even the outlines of ni**les riles the holy in you (sic).”
