Reem Shaikh reveals facing online abuse after not commenting about Air India Ahmedabad plane crash; says 'Was told isko Pakistan bhejo, deshdrohi'
, resulting in the loss of over 200 lives. Actress Reem Shaikh faced heavy criticism for appearing unaware and not acknowledging the Air India disaster while present on the sets of Laughter Chefs 2.
In a recent podcast with HindiRush, the actress addressed the controversy and shared that she was targeted with online abuse following the incident. Reem Shaikh expressed that the situation deeply affected her, especially since her own sister works as a flight attendant with Air India.
Even though she was truly worried, she said she consciously chose not to portray herself as a victim.
Responding to the viral video, Reem said, "Uss waqt joh hua, bahot fast hua. Mein set pe aayi, aur kisi ne poocha, 'Kal ke baare mein batao?' It was such a random question. Subah-subah jab aap 7:30 baje uth ke set par aate ho, ek ghante ke andar tayyar hoke, 4-5 log aapke sir pe ghoom rahe hote hain... your mind is absent."
She further shared, "Uske baad aap mujhe gaali do, bolo insensitive, deshdrohi—go ahead.

But just because maine media ke saamne dukhi chehra nahi rakha, that does not mean I didn't go through something, or that I didn't feel bad about what happened. You might not know humne kya face kiya, because my sister flies for that airline. Jab woh news aayi, media pe spread hone se pehle mujhe 10-12 calls aa chuke the, asking about my sister.
What I experienced... they might not even know."
Reem shared that she was heavily trolled online, with many users leaving hateful comments.
Some even labeled her a 'Deshdrohi' and said things like, 'Isko Pakistan bhejo.'
She added about the trolling she faced, "Bahot gandi-gandi gaaliyan likhi thi. Bahot bura bola tha. DMs mein bhi log peecha nahi chod rahe the, buri baatein likh rahe the. Main hairaan ho gayi thi. Maine actually trolling kya hoti hai, woh face kiya."
On the work front, Reem Sheikh was seen in Laughter Chefs season 2, which recently wrapped up. She was paired opposite Aly Goni.

Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 Update: Gayatri reveals Angad, Pari and Ritik are not Tulsi and Mihir's biological kids after Angad gets arrested
The latest episode of Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 starts with police reaching the Shanti Niketan to arrest Angad. Mihir, Tulsi and the entire family ask the Inspector the reason behind arresting Angad and he reveals that they are arresting him for drink and drive. He further reveals that the blood test reports also prove that he was drunk while driving and caused the accident. But Angad denies the allegations and requests him parents to believe him. Tulsi refuses to trust him after hearing about the blood test reports and starts beating him. However, Mihir supports Angad but the cops arrest him and take to the police station. At the police station, Angad tells his parents that he wasn't the one driving the car and that his friend Sameer was behind the wheel, also claiming he wasn't drunk. While Mihir believes his version of the story, Tulsi remains doubtful and doesn't trust his words. When Tulsi calls Sameer, he lies and puts the entire blame on Angad. As Tulsi rushes from the police station disappointed, she bumps into a stranger who is there with a hidden motive. At home Tulsi is worried about Angad when Gayatri starts taunting him about not raising him well. However, Mihir defends Tulsi and says he is to be blamed equally as raising a child is both mother and father's responsibility. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Quinta Normal: Unsold Furniture Liquidation 2024 (Prices May Surprise You) Unsold Furniture | Search Ads Learn More Undo Furthermore, Gayatri shares that only Hemant, her son could have got Angad bail but he has already left for the US. Just then Hemant steps in to help Angad. Hemant cancels all his important meetings to support the family during the crisis. Just as Mihir is about to sign the bail papers arranged by Hemant, Tulsi intervenes. She firmly stops him and reminds everyone of the Virani family's values and principles, insisting that Angad, whom she still considers guilty, does not deserve to be granted bail. Mihir, who wants to get Angad released on bail doesn't agree with her thoughts and argues with her to think about the situation as mother. Just then Gayatri taunts Tulsi for not being Angad's real mother. She reveals that Angad, Pari and Ritik are not Mihir and Tulsi's biological kids. She shares that they are Kesar's children and Tulsi adopted them after her sister passed away. The other two children stand up for their mother, insisting that she has always treated them all with equal love and fairness. As emotions run high within the family, Tulsi quietly turns to prayer, hoping for some light in the midst of the turmoil. Meanwhile, a new Maharashtrian family is introduced. A young member of this family is shown protecting a plant from the heavy rain—just like Tulsi is doing at Shanti Niketan. It is shown that the CCTV footage of the accident was deleted to protect Angad's friend, Sameer, from going to jail. The Mumbai traffic police officer who helped with this turns out to be the brother of the Maharashtrian girl. The episode comes to an end. Inside pics!
