Many praised her with comments like 'All eyes on the brown queen' and 'She's one of the most beautiful people to exist. ' Netizen's reaction However, as the video gained popularity, the internet also turned negative. Some people began to criticize her looks and speculated about her makeup or possible cosmetic surgery. Online trolls argued whether she looked better with or without makeup. A few users even compared her pictures side by side, one from Wimbledon and another with a different appearance, sparking a shallow debate and others insulted her by calling her 'mid,' a slang word suggesting someone is average.

Leora Tanenbaum, an author and critic of sexist beauty standards, explained the double bind women face. She said if a woman wears makeup, people accuse her of trying too hard. If she doesn't, they say she's not doing enough. Either way, women, especially women of colour are judged no matter what. This situation shows how unrealistic and damaging beauty standards can be. In Charithra's case, she did nothing but sit and watch a tennis match and yet, people still found reasons to judge her.

She studied at the University of Oxford and graduated with a top degree in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE). Her journey into acting started with stage performances, and she also later appeared in TV series. But her major fame came in 2022 when she played Edwina Sharma in one of the hit series 'Bridgerton'. Since then, her career has continued to grow. Even though she is earning success through her work, the Wimbledon incident showed how quickly people focus on appearance rather than talent. Charithra did nothing to invite this attention, she was quietly enjoying a tennis match, yet her image became the center of a worldwide discussion. This moment is about more than just a celebrity sighting. It reflects how deeply rooted beauty standards and racism still are in society.
