Watch: Shamita Shetty Brutally Trolled for Her Posture During National Anthem on Independence Day
As India celebrated its 79th Independence Day on August 15, several Bollywood celebrities marked the occasion by paying tribute to the nation and its brave hearts. Stars like Hrithik Roshan, Akshay Kumar, and Ahaan Panday shared posts on their social media handles, proudly displaying the tricolor and extending warm wishes to their fans.
Shilpa Shetty and her family also celebrated the day with great patriotism. The actress, along with her husband, Raj Kundra, and their children, participated in flag-hoisting ceremonies and shared glimpses of their celebrations online. A video of Shilpa’s daughter singing the national anthem caught the attention of netizens and was widely appreciated. Many users called it a “cute” and heartwarming moment, praising the young girl’s enthusiasm.
However, while Shilpa’s family celebration drew praise, her sister Shamita Shetty found herself at the receiving end of online trolling. A video from the event went viral in which Shamita was seen standing during the national anthem. Netizens pointed out her posture, claiming she was not standing straight and was seen moving her hands. At one point, Shamita placed her hand on her forehead to block the sun, and she was also seen shifting her body during the anthem.
This behavior sparked criticism online. Many social media users accused her of not showing the right level of respect. One user commented, “Stand in attention position while the national anthem …” Another wrote, “Ye Shamita mam ko pehle batao ki khade kaise hote hain.” A third user added, “Shamita being Shamita, and people will still idolize her??”
Apart from her posture, Shamita’s attire also became a talking point. She was seen wearing colorful pants paired with a white t-shirt, which some users felt was too casual for the occasion. Critics wrote that she looked as if she had “just stepped out of bed” for the flag hoisting. Another comment read, “Shamita does not know the protocols for how to stand during the national anthem.”
The incident has created a wave of mixed reactions on social media, with some focusing on the joyful family celebration and others slamming Shamita for her behavior during the anthem.
