The arrival of the first track from the upcoming movie Toxic, titled Tabahi, has stirred up a massive discussion across social media platforms. While the on-screen chemistry between Yash and Kiara Advani has grabbed eyeballs, the intimate sequences in the song have simultaneously invited heavy online trolling directed specifically at Kiara. Addressing this controversy head-on, actress Huma Qureshi has launched a direct attack on society's double standards and expressed absolute confidence that the film will deliver a fitting reply to its critics.
During a candid conversation on the chat show Be A Man, Yaar, Huma Qureshi made it clear that the entire team behind the movie prefers to stay away from online noise and useless banter, choosing instead to let their work speak for itself. When show host Nikhil Taneja pointed out how Kiara Advani faced disproportionate targeting for the bold scenes compared to her co-star Yash, Huma did not hesitate to voice her displeasure over the glaring double standards.
Mindsets Cannot Be Changed Through Words
Expressing deep outrage over this lopsided mentality, Huma Qureshi remarked that such thinking is extremely cheap and shameful. However, she voiced strong confidence that the women associated with the project will ultimately triumph once the film hits the big screens. She added that offering clarifications or defending themselves against such petty remarks makes no sense at all, because you cannot change regressive mindsets simply through arguments. Instead, she believes the best approach is to let their cinema do the talking and give a resounding answer on screen.
The Controversy Surrounding Tabahi
As soon as the song Tabahi made its debut, it triggered a fresh wave of debates online. A certain section of social media users directed sharp criticism at Kiara Advani over her intimate moments alongside Yash. The situation escalated further when trolls crossed lines by dragging her personal life into the discourse, leaving derogatory comments on her husband Sidharth Malhotra's social media handles and attempting to link the cinematic scenes with her marital life.
