Actor Kamya Punjabi who recently turned politician is known for not mincing her words. The actress recently shared a post on woman empowerment on her social media account. One of the users commented on her post, ‘Ek apni shaadi to bacha ni payi talaq ho gaya. Fir dusri shaadi… had hai.’
Kamya gave a befitting reply to him saying, “So? Mujhe khush rehne ka ya jeene ka koi haq nahi hai? Talaq ho gaya toh aurat ko marr jaana chahiye? Talaq se zindagi khatam ho jaati hai aurat ki? Aap jaisi soch rakhne waalo ke khilaaf aaj harr ladki ko apni awaaz uthani padegi our utha bhi rahi hai… Mujhe kamzor naa samajna main ladki hoon lad sakti hoon.”
For the unversed, Kamya married businessman Bunty Negi in 2003 and they divorced in 2013. She tied the knot with Delhi-based healthcare professional Shalabh Dang last year.
Earlier in an interview with ETimes TV, Kamya talked about the trolls and shared, “These trolls have been there since a long time now; it’s not something new that we are facing. These people on social media talk about my daughter, my past marriage, divorce, that I got married again… I ignore it most of the times, but sometimes you need to give it back. You have to make them realize how wrong they are to bring about some change.”
She also shared that she keeps her 12-year old daughter Aara away from social media due to this only, “These days kids are on social media right from the time they are born, but I consciously keep my daughter away from it. She’s 12 years old and isn’t aware of how people say nasty things. She doesn’t know much about these trolls, but she hears me talking about it sometimes. I can keep her away from it for some time, but later in life whenever she is on this platform, I hope she fights her battles on her own. She will know how her mother has been fighting against such things for years,” she concluded.
