Kiara Advani Faces Online Criticism For Giving Shoutout To POCSO-Accused Jani Master

Kiara Advani is currently in the spotlight due to her upcoming film, Game Changer. However, this time it's not for positive reasons. Recently, she posted a behind-the-scenes video on social media, giving a shoutout to choreographer Jani Master. This did not sit well with many internet users.

After the release of the song Dhop, fans were thrilled and shared their excitement online. Amidst this buzz, Kiara shared a video from her dance practice for the song, where she praised Jani Master's choreography. She wrote, "I remember seeing @alwaysjani masters choreography and thinking how are we going to do this, but that's the beauty of our job, always learning something new."

Controversy Surrounding Jani Master

Jani Master, a Telugu choreographer, was embroiled in controversy after being charged under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. A woman accused him of sexual assault when she was 16 years old and working as his employee. The allegations led to significant backlash.

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting responded by suspending his National Film Award for choreographing Megham Karukkatha. This decision came after public outrage over granting him bail.

Public Reaction to Kiara's Post

Kiara's post received backlash from fans and internet users who expressed their disappointment in the comments section. One user remarked on the insensitivity of praising someone whose award was revoked due to serious allegations. Another commented on actors' apparent disregard for such issues.

A user criticised celebrities for appearing tone-deaf and lacking morals. These reactions highlight the sensitivity surrounding endorsements or praise for individuals facing legal controversies.
