Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana’s wife and writer Tahira Kashyap, who was detected with breast cancer last year, recently posted a series of pictures from a wellness resort on social media. Amongst all those pictures, Tahira’s one photo caught netizens’ attention. The particular picture in the series has Tahira sitting on the giant statue of Buddha. In no time, she was trolled for not “respecting the religion.”
Soon after receiving backlash, Tahira commented on her post and apologised to those who were offended by her picture. Her comment read, “I apologise if I have offended anybody, but I myself am a Nicherin’s Buddhism practitioner and I felt embraced in the lap of Buddha. Every religion, every philosophy is about love. In no way did I mean to disrespect. Sorry if I have hurt anyone From my perspective there is only love.”

A troll had written, “Very bad.. Sitting on Buddha is Very Idiotic...education people r doing dis type of shit .. Den what will the uneducated people do.. Seriously it's very Very Stupid thing U do.. Have Sum Respect for God...” while another said, “you are sitting on buddha..respect all religion plz...” Another user wrote, “What? Sitting on Buddha’s statue?? Pls learn to respect all religions.” A user also said that she has lost respect for Tahira, the comment read, “I respected you as one of the least found dignified and strong woman till I see you sitting on the lap of a buddha statue.”
A guy gave her a piece of his mind and said, “Firstly, there is not just one school of Buddhism. For some, Shakyamuni Buddha is the king of humanism. He has always employed different parables to demonstrate to his disciples the essential spirit of Buddhism which is to be compassionate towards others, relieve suffering and bringing joy and it has always taken precedence over abstract theories. What I see in this picture, is a child of Buddha who from the very depths of her life is trying to live in the Buddhist order which is to live with an unwavering spirit of love and compassion.”
