Riva Arora, a young actress who was chosen for Imtiaz Ali’s Rockstar when she was just one and a half years old, has advanced far in the field in her brief-looking career.
She has appeared in a number of films and television commercials over the years, including the Sridevi-starring Mom, in which she played the younger daughter of Sridevi; the Vicky Kaushal-starring Uri: The Surgical Strike, in which she played Vihaan’s niece Suhani Kashyap; and the Janhvi Kapoor-starring Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, in which she portrayed young Gunjan.
Not only that but in 2018, she was also featured in the Hollywood film Best Friends. She made her television debut the same year with Papa Mere Hero Hiralal, and she has also modelled for Biba, Reliance Trendz, and Sportking, among other companies.
Looking at her career, all we can say is that she is not a new face in the industry and most of us know her for being a child actress. However, that’s the same reason why she has been heavily criticised recently. Nonetheless, Riva, despite her young age, already knows how to respond appropriately to these types of trolls.
So, let’s find out why she was trolled and how she reacted to the trolling:
Riva Arora trolled for romancing with older-age celebs in the videos
Riva Arora, a 12-year-old actress and influencer, is presently making news, but not for the right reasons. Her videos, in which she is seen romancing older celebrities like 45-year-old Mika Singh and 38-year-old Karan Kundrra, are upsetting to internet users.
For instance, Riva and Karan Kundrra are shown mingling in the now-deleted reel, with another male actor playing the role of Riva’s boyfriend.
Yikes Karan kundra is 38 years old and other actor also looks like more than 20 years old. Riva arora(the child actor from URI) is just 12 years old. This video is posted on her Instagram. Her parents are also part of this.@KanoongoPriyank@sharmarekhapic.twitter.com/V8EhVRg56T
Soon after this, singer Mika Singh became the next target of trolling on social media
In the reel that has currently gone viral, he was seen singing and dancing with the 12-year-old. It irritated users on social media.
Noting that Riva’s social media accounts are managed by her mother, many Twitter users claimed that her mother was exploiting her by allowing her to appear in music videos with older guys and publishing images of her in appealing clothing.
Here’s a thread of how Riva Arora a child actress and Instagram influencer/ YouTuber is being exploited by her mother!! Her mother is allowing her to dress provocatively and act and dance with older men in their 40’s!! #rivaarora#KaranKundrra#bollywood
Just found out Riva Arora’s mother injected her with growth hormones that are usually given to fatten up poulty at age 11 so that she can grow her Instagram audience and get roles in films.
We are hitting levels of Kaliyug that shouldn’t even be possible.
Not only that, but many other netizens expressed their displeasure with her videos and appealing fashion sense.
Riva Arora reply to trolls
Riva Arora, though, doesn’t appear to be impacted by this heavy trolling, as was evident from her recently posted message about jealousy on her Instagram account in the midst of all this controversy.
In the midst of the online trolls, Riva Arora (or actually her mother) posted several mirror selfies of herself on her official Instagram account while sporting an off-white blouse and blue shorts. Along with the image, she added the caption, saying,
“Jealousy is the best compliment you can receive (sic).”
This appears to be a direct jab at her detractors.
Nevertheless, she and her parents are still getting lots of hate on social media platforms.
