The entertainment industry, particularly in India, often becomes a battleground for public opinion and celebrity interactions, with social media amplifying even the smallest gestures. In a recent instance, actress priya anand found herself at the center of an online controversy after she reacted to a netizen’s comment criticizing pooja Hegde’s portrayal of ‘Rukmini’ in the film Retro. The comment questioned not only Pooja’s performance but also made a pointed remark about her skin tone, suggesting that a naturally dark-skinned actress should have been cast instead.
