From the outside, the life of a celebrity looks all glamorous making us think that they lead perfect lives. But once one is under the spotlight, every word and action is monitored and endless speculations are made about them.
Recent victims of such speculations and judgement from the public have been actress Urvashi Rautela and Boney Kapoor.
A few days back, the two were seen making an appearance at Jayantilal Gada’s son, Akshay Gada’s wedding reception in Mumbai.
A video from that night has been making rounds on the internet in which Boney Kapoor and Urvashi are seen standing beside each other, posing for the paparazzi.
Towards the end of the video, Boney Kapoor is seen patting Urvashi on her back while she gently responds with a smile.

However, this action was taken on a negative light by a particular media house who went on to write an article shaming Boney Kapoor for touching her inappropriately.
And as the video went viral, people started slamming Boney Kapoor for his alleged disrespectful action.
Urvashi later took on to Twitter to express her opinions about the issue, bashing media houses for spreading false news and defaming Kapoor.
Presumably one of the India's 'SUPREME' newspaper and this is 'NEWS'!!??

I felt appalled and beyond shocked this morning when i saw social media flooded with trolls of me in a video with respected @BoneyKapoor Sir.
He is a true Gentleman and it makes me feel extremely unhappy and miserable because the social sites/media don't even think twice before pic.twitter.com/VIzuCeeObV— URVASHI RAUTELA🇮🇳 Virgin Bhanupriya (@UrvashiRautela) April 2, 2019

The entire incident has left netizens divided.
While many blamed Urvashi of not taking a stand and Boney for misusing his power in the industry, some also stepped forward in support of the actress respecting her opinion.
This is not an issue for her right now as she need films n she can go to any extent to grab one. May be 10-15 years from now she will also cry #MeToo

Ahh 😡 Dear @UrvashiRautela ma'am,
You have done very wrong instead of criticising & complaining you are ignoring it. Very bad. You are setting very bad example by this to all the girl and discouraging them and also misleading them.
Very shameful act👇👇https://t.co/XEabqpcdND— Mahi (@mahifanboy) April 2, 2019
People should know how to respect women's and girls especially social media !!

Well that was a questionable pat by @BoneyKapoor . Gives light on the very important question..who decides the "appropriate-ness" ?

Ya it's true if the media didn't get any news they start to make their own stuff

It's common in Bollywood. Nothing wrong. When she herself is OK with it and not finding anything wrong with what boney did whatever may b the reason for her to say so. It's should b left to them without interfering in personal lives.

Everyone noticed he bump his hands on your butt 2times and it was not by mistaken…so what are you trying n say it's ok for you you liked it or pretending it to be normal because you don't wanna mess up with big names in industry…

On her back ??
Where he touched (or patted) and how he touched is very inappropriate.
Film industry is becoming rubbish day by day.
Where he is like a womaniser on the other side she is also a self hypocrite for the fame & money, she ignored it.— Mahi (@mahifanboy) April 2, 2019
Sad to hear that. Social media trolls are like a wave. you cannt stop the wave but you need to learn how to surf on it.
