Rishita Kothari, who is currently seen in a leading role in the television show 'Sehar Hone Ko Hai,' has broken her silence after rumors of an ugly spat with co-star Parth Samthaan on the sets. The actress shared a heartfelt note on her social media account following reports that Parth's fans began trolling Rishita and even demanded the makers replace her from the show.
Rishita's Emotional Note on Silence and Judgment
Taking to her social media account, Rishita posted a lengthy note addressing silence, judgment, emotional disturbance, and the impact of online negativity. In the note, she wrote, 'I have always been a quiet person... but silence does not mean I do not feel. It does not mean I do not get hurt. And it definitely does not mean I deserve to be misunderstood.'
She added, 'I feel truly fortunate that this industry gave me a chance to live my dream and showcase my talent. I am deeply grateful for the love the audience has given me; it means everything to me. I am here because of that love. But somewhere along the way, that love also brought judgment and hate that I still do not understand... not just towards me, but even towards my friends and family. And that is what breaks me the most.'
Rishita continued, 'For the longest time, I kept everything buried within me. I convinced myself this is just how it is... that maybe being new means accepting everything silently. I was told, 'It is a man's world, you have to bear it.' But slowly, that silence started to weigh on me... it began to hurt deeper than I expected. There were moments it made me feel helpless, unheard, and so alone... like no matter what I say or do not say, it will still be questioned.'
She posed poignant questions: 'Why is being quiet seen as arrogance? Why is not reacting seen as guilt? Why does love come with so much hate?'
Rishita further expressed, 'I am just here to act, to perform, to grow, and to spread love and kindness for the people who truly stand by me. I only hope this chaos of hate finds some light... and that truth, eventually, speaks for itself.' She concluded her note with, 'God is with me. Maybe my silence said too much. Har Har Mahadev.'
Parth Samthaan's Social Media Break
Earlier, on April 22nd, Parth Samthaan decided to take a break from social media after facing alleged personal attacks targeting him and his family. In his note, Parth stated that while he has always maintained a positive approach and outlook, certain recent incidents involving 'bot accounts' posting 'rubbish' about his personal life left him hurt and angry.
Without naming anyone, Parth hinted that he is probably aware of who could be behind the trolling but chose not to escalate the matter publicly. He wrote, 'I have always been a peaceful and positive guy, focusing on the good, but recently I have noticed someone buying bot accounts and commenting rubbish on my family, me, and my personal life through those fake accounts. Shocking, extremely hurtful. I am fumed with anger.'
He added, 'I am guessing I know the person behind all this, but it is pointless to take names... due to which... To be continued... #DETOX.' Announcing his social media break, he stated, 'I have decided to take a break from social media for some time. Cannot drain more energy on complaining to cyber crime department. Rather, focus on my life and my role as Mahid. Love PS.'
