Malayalam Actors Face Online Harassment After Backing Jantar Mantar Protests

Several popular Malayalam actors, including Vismaya Mohanlal, Tovino Thomas, Parvathy Thiruvothu, and Ranjini Haridas, have become targets of online harassment after expressing support for protests at Jantar Mantar in Delhi. The celebrities voiced their solidarity with the demonstrations, which have drawn attention to various social and political issues. According to a report, the actors faced a wave of abusive comments and threats on social media platforms. The harassment appears to be linked to their public stance on the protests. While the actors have not issued any official statements regarding the abuse, the incident highlights the growing trend of online hostility towards public figures who speak out on controversial matters. Jantar Mantar, a historic site in central Delhi, is frequently used for peaceful protests and rallies. The recent protests have attracted support from various quarters, including film personalities. This is not the first time Malayalam actors have faced online backlash for their political or social views. The online harassment raises concerns about the safety and freedom of expression of artists in India. As of now, no legal complaints have been reported in connection with the harassment.
