India’s constant representation at Cannes for twenty years continually was apparently not a milestone to focus on for the trolls who trolled her for her flamboyance and drama in her looks. The Cannes queen however thought her fits were “magical.”
Kiara Advani
Kiara Advani attended the Red Sea Film Foundation’s Women in Cinema Gala Dinner hosted by Vanity Fair. As a representative of women in Indian cinema, Kiara shared her experience, but the trolls thought that she was speaking in a “cringe accent.” Scrutinized for her statement and accent, Kiara’s role at the festival was sidelined by these trolls.

King however, owned the trolling by later sharing a video on Instagram of the same interview with the caption, “jab atti nahi to accent hi nikalta hai desh se bahar…iykyk par mazaa a agaya bkc naacho!!.” King behavior only.

Namita Thapar
Indian entrepreneur and one of the judges at Shark Tank India made her debut at Cannes 2024. The executive director of Emcure Pharmaceuticals was trolled for everything from her age to nepotism. Quieting them Thappar made it clear that she will stay her unapologetic self no matter what trolls say. In her Instagram caption she wrote, “ Yes, I will go all out in Cannes…yes, I will put up my pics on social media & oh yes, I will not be apologetic & defensive about who I am :) Here’s to taking every stereotype ever created & squashing it with my 6-inch killer heels !!!”

While constructive criticism is essential and helpful, trolls may even hamper people's self-esteem too. But these kings and queens have shown that their milestones are going to outshine any troll.
