Reem Shaikh On Being Trolled For Air India Crash Reaction: ‘I Wasn't Even Aware'
Last Updated: Reem Shaikh revealed that the issue hit her hard, especially because her own sister is a flight attendant with Air India. Reem Shaikh, widely recognised for her role in Tujhse Hai Rabta, has spoken out after receiving widespread criticism online. The backlash stems from a viral video in which she responded to a paparazzi's question about the recent Ahmedabad plane crash, a response that many viewers labelled 'insensitive." The tragic incident occurred on June 12, when an Air India Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner en route from Ahmedabad to London's Gatwick Airport crashed shortly after takeoff at 1:38 PM. The accident claimed the lives of all passengers except 1, making it one of the deadliest aviation tragedies in recent years. Reem Shaikh was on the sets of Laughter Chefs 2 when a paparazzo asked her about the tragedy. Her reaction was seen by many as clueless or dismissive. Soon, the video spread online, and Reem was criticised. In a recent podcast with HindiRush, the actress shared her side of the story. She said that people abused her without knowing the truth. Reem revealed that the issue hit her hard, especially because her own sister is a flight attendant with Air India. 'What happened that day happened very fast," Reem said. 'I had just reached the set. Someone suddenly asked, 'What do you think about yesterday?' I wasn't even aware of what they were referring to at that moment." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Hindirush (@hindirush) She added that she was tired and not fully alert. 'At 7:30 a.m., you get up, rush to set, get ready in an hour, and four-five people are around you. Your mind is just not there." Reem explained that she didn't pretend to be sad in front of the media, but that didn't mean she wasn't affected. 'I received 10–12 calls before the news even broke in the media. Everyone was asking about my sister. I was scared." Despite this, people called her a 'Deshdrohi' and even said things like 'Send her to Pakistan." 'People wrote filthy abuses. Even in my DMs, strangers were sending hateful messages. That was the first time I truly experienced what real trolling feels like," she said. On the work front, Reem recently wrapped up Laughter Chefs Season 2, where she was paired with Aly Goni. The duo joined in Week 13 but still managed to 26 stars, finishing just after Elvish Yadav and Karan Kundrra, who had replaced Abdu Rozik.

Reem Shaikh reveals facing online abuse after not commenting about Air India Ahmedabad plane crash; says 'Was told isko Pakistan bhejo, deshdrohi'
Tujhse Hai Rabta fame Reem Shaikh came under fire after a video of her response to a paparazzi's question about the Ahmedabad plane crash surfaced and quickly went viral. On June 12, tragedy struck when a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner en route from Ahmedabad to London's Gatwick Airport crashed just moments after takeoff at approximately 1:38 p.m. , 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. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning...

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.
