On the wrong foot

The intense courtroom drama Section 375 has been making all the right noises, ever since it released last Friday. Led by stars including Akshaye Khanna, Richa Chadha and Meera Chopra, the interesting story line and good performances have won the film rave reviews. However, there have been some brickbats as well for Meera Chopra. A certain section of the audience hasn’t taken too kindly to the way her character has been portrayed, and have been trolling her on social media for it.

Meera, who’s always been up for taking on challenging roles, and stood up for them if required, is surprised at how insensitive people can be. But social media doesn’t play by the rules. And sometimes, public personalities have to bear the brunt of their misplaced opinions.
