Entertainment News: Social media sensation Anjali Arora is once again in the headlines, as usual. She gained internet recognition as the 'Kacha Badam' girl, a song that made her famous overnight. Following this, she participated as a contestant in Kangana Ranaut's reality show 'Lock Upp' and shared screen space with Munawar Faruqui.
Anjali Arora often remains in discussion due to her controversial looks and statements, and this time, the matter concerns her portrayal of Mata Sita. Her new look is rapidly going viral on social media. However, fans are extremely upset this time, as her style is clashing with traditional and religious sentiments. Consequently, social media is flooded with anger and reactions against her.
Anjali Arora's Viral Look Becomes Cause of Controversy
In a recently viral Instagram picture, Anjali Arora can be seen in a traditional Sita look. She is wearing an orange saree, sindoor on her forehead, a red bindi, and traditional jewelry. This look was shared on Instagram by a page named 'Instant Bollywood', after which it rapidly spread across social media.
In the picture, Anjali appears in complete traditional attire, but social media users have not accepted this look. People are stating that Anjali's public image does not align with a sacred character like Mata Sita.
Users' Anger Erupts on Social Media
Sharp reactions regarding Anjali Arora are being seen on social media. One user wrote, "It is the biggest insult to make the girl who gained recognition through her bold dances on social media portray Mata Sita." Another user commented, "It's the height of Kaliyuga! Now someone who performs 'thumkas' on Instagram will play the role of Sita Mata — this is absolutely unacceptable."
Many users also targeted the film's director and producer, stating that "artists should be chosen carefully for portraying religious characters."
To Play Sita's Role in the Film 'Shree Ramayan Katha'
Anjali Arora's name is no stranger to controversies. After going viral with the 'Kacha Badam' song, she was seen on Kangana Ranaut's show 'Lock Upp', where her pairing with comedian Munawar Faruqui garnered significant attention. Additionally, in 2022, an alleged MMS leak video of her also went viral on social media, sparking considerable controversy. However, Anjali had then stated that the video was fake and called it a conspiracy to tarnish her image.
Now, Anjali Arora is portraying the role of Mata Sita in the religiously themed film 'Shree Ramayan Katha'. Actors Rajneesh Duggal, Sheel Verma, Nirbhay Wadhwa, and Dev Sharma will also be seen alongside her in the film. According to sources, the film is based on Indian culture and the narrative of the Ramayana, but its casting has already given rise to controversies. Audiences appear divided on the matter — some are calling it "a modern interpretation of Sita," while others consider it "a violation of religious sanctity."
