Devoleena Bhattacharjee reacts to Nia Sharma's dig over her comment on Pearl V Puri rape case
Television divas Devoleena Bhattacharjee and Nia Sharma have been indulging in heated banter on Twitter. It started with Devoleena slamming trolls for victim-blaming in the Pearl V Puri rape case. She took to social media and called out those who supported Pearl and said that 'karma will hit back to each one of you who is cursing that little 7yrs old girl.' Reacting to her tweets, Nia Sharma, who tweeted in support of Pearl, took a dig at Devoleena and mocked her dance videos.
Nia Sharma tweeted, "Didi ko koi bata do dharna and candle march nahi kar sakte pandemic hai abhi bhi (Someone please tell big sister that we cannot have a strike and candle march as the pandemic is still on). Also Didi needs to practice her dance before she makes those pathetic dance reels thinking she’s nailing them."
Devoleena was quick to react to the dig and said, "Please Choti ko koi bato do sirf fashion skills dikhane se koi insaan nahi banta hai.Acchi soch aur acche dil ki zarurat hoti hai jiski kami dikh rahi hai.And whether i nailed my reels or no let my fans decide.Yahan pe bhi judge ban gayee.Rather focus on your photoshoots."
She added, "And waise all my tweets were for those who are abusing,trolling & cursing ,naming the 7 yrs old girl a gold digger.Mirchi choti ko kyun lagi?Or May be she is one of them who reacts reading articles without checking the truth & facts."
