Kiara Advani Faces Backlash for Praising Controversial Choreographer
Actress Kiara Advani has recently found herself at the center of controversy after praising choreographer Jani Master in an Instagram post. The actress, who is currently promoting her upcoming film Game Changer, shared a behind-the-scenes video of her dance rehearsals. In her post, she expressed gratitude to Jani Master for his choreography. However, the choreographer’s troubling legal history has led to significant backlash from fans and social media users alike.
Backlash Over Jani Master Mention
In her Instagram post, Kiara wrote, “I remember seeing @alwaysjani master’s choreography and thinking how are we going to do this, but that’s the beauty of our job, always learning something new.” While her intention was to appreciate Jani Master’s work, many social media users quickly criticized her for associating with him. Jani Master has faced serious allegations under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act. A former employee accused him of sexually assaulting her when she was just 16 years old.
These allegations have had severe repercussions for Jani Master. Following the accusations, the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting suspended his National Film Award for choreographing the song Megham Karukkatha. This context made Kiara’s praise particularly controversial, as many felt it was inappropriate to celebrate someone with such serious allegations against them.
Fans Call Out Kiara’s Post
The backlash was swift and intense. Many users took to the comments section of Kiara’s post to express their disappointment. One user remarked, “Tone-deaf, especially when even his national award was taken back after the uproar over granting him bail.” Another comment read, “The so-called cream of the crop are truly built differently; they come across as tone-deaf and completely lacking morals.”
In light of the criticism, Kiara quickly edited her Instagram caption to remove the mention of Jani Master. This move indicates her awareness of the backlash and her attempt to mitigate the situation. However, the damage had already been done, and the incident sparked a broader conversation about accountability in the entertainment industry.
Kiara’s Upcoming Film and Continued Spotlight
Despite the controversy, Kiara Advani remains in the spotlight for her role in the upcoming Telugu film Game Changer. Directed by Shankar, the film is set to release on January 10, 2025. It stars Ram Charan alongside Kiara, with a supporting cast that includes Anjali, Samuthirakani, S. J. Suryah, Srikanth, Prakash Raj, and Sunil.
Kiara’s involvement in such a high-profile project suggests that she will continue to be a significant figure in Bollywood. However, the recent backlash raises questions about how public figures navigate their associations and the potential consequences of their endorsements. As the film’s release date approaches, it will be interesting to see how this controversy affects Kiara’s public image and career trajectory.
Kiara Advani’s recent praise for choreographer Jani Master has ignited a firestorm of criticism online. The backlash highlights the complexities of celebrity endorsements, especially when associated with individuals facing serious allegations. As Kiara continues to promote her upcoming film Game Changer, the incident serves as a reminder of the scrutiny public figures face in today’s social media landscape.
