Trolls can break you, but I have learnt how to deal with them, says Chaithra J Achar
For actress Chaithra J Achar, the key to navigating the entertainment industry is simple: seek validation for your craft, not your personal choices. This philosophy is precisely why she remains unfazed by recent online trolling. The controversy ignited after Chaithra posted a photo of herself in jeans with a sliver of a thong peeking out at the waist. Among the barrage of criticism, one widely circulated comment read, 'When actors run out of opportunities, they indulge in such shoots to fetch attention.' 'THE KIND OF COMMENTS I HAVE RECEIVED HAVE BEEN BRUTAL' The actor recalls a moment early in her career that shook her. 'About four years ago, I wore a risqué gown to a film award function. The kind of comments I received were brutal. I remember waking up in the middle of the night to check what new hate had landed on my wall. It deeply affected me at the time — I shudder to think how much space it took up in my mind. But thankfully, I had the right kind of people around me, who helped me snap out of it. That was the last time I let trolls get to me. I care two hoots about being trolled now. At home, we were raised to see the good in people. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Exciting Offers on vivo X200 FE ViVO X200 FE Book Now Undo We were taught tradition, but also given the freedom to make our own choices. So yes, I can recite Devar Naama just as comfortably as I can carry a bold look. People forget that being rooted in culture and being expressive with your style aren't mutually exclusive,' she tells us. 'SEEK VALIDATION FOR YOUR CRAFT, NOT YOUR PERSONAL CHOICES' Chaithra is aware that not everyone develops thick skin overnight. 'I'm lucky to have supportive parents who've always taught me not to seek validation from anyone. But not everyone is as fortunate. For someone still finding their footing, being trolled mercilessly can take a toll on their mental health. You body shame her, call her names, and she might stop posting altogether. Even if she wears a sari, you'll find a problem with its colour. Where does it stop? Hence, seek validation only for your work. Everything else — your choices, your clothes, your life — is yours alone. Live it the way you want to,' she adds

The animals at adoption centre have been sheltered and brought back to full health by NGOs and now have the opportunity to become part of a family. 'You don't buy dogs; you adopt them. Dogs are part of the family,' said Shriti, a textile retailer who wanted to adopt the three cats. 'There is a common misconception that rescued dogs are not suitable for family life. My first dog was adopted too, and he was fine,' said Aslam Mirza, who wanted to adopt the Rottweiler. The NGOs will first conduct a screening test for prospective owners. Once they are satisfied that the pets will have a safe home, the adoption process will be finalised.
