Social media influencer Kanika Sharma has spoken out against trolls after facing online hate over her marriage to Saqib Saifi. Their interfaith wedding in March has sparked strong reactions on social media, with some users posting abusive comments about her and her family.
Amid the backlash, Kanika shared an emotional video on Instagram, directly addressing the hate. She questioned the right of strangers to interfere in her personal life and call out her choices.
She revealed that the trolling had gone beyond her, with people making offensive remarks about her parents and brother as well. “Aap mujhe gaaliyan de rahe ho, mere maa-baap ko, mere bhai ko gaaliyan de rahe ho… aap hote kaun ho?” (You are abusing me, my parents and my brother… who do you think you are?), she said.
Kanika also strongly reacted to the judgment around her marriage, asking who gave anyone the right to insult her or her loved ones.
She further spoke about her family's values, sharing that her brother is involved in animal welfare and takes care of cows, while her parents have been helping others for years. Through this, she highlighted the contrast between her family's actions and the negativity being spread online.
