Beyond calling out online trolls, Punia also criticised sections of the media for fuelling the narrative – pointing out how photos and speculative comments are circulated with cleverly ambiguous captions designed to drive engagement and amplify the noise.
She said, “Okay, so I don’t know what the problem with you guys is, but I think you all love trolling, and somewhere I think the media is also enjoying these things by putting the photos and then putting the caption in a very double-minded way, in a very funny way…And giving like a guess to the audience so that your engagement is going on.”
Media’s Role in Fueling Speculation
Punia further added, “At least some people in the industry still say that yes, we are doing that, and if you want to do that, if your family wants to do that, please go ahead, spend the money and do it. Don’t troll. Just shut up.”
Before being defended by Pavitra Punia’s video – where she criticised the negativity and urged people to be more respectful – Mouni Roy had previously also faced allegations of undergoing lip surgery.
