Actor Dipika Kakar loves to lead a simple, low-key life with her family away from the glitz and glamour of the entertainment industry. However, on many occasions, she’s been trolled as being orthodox and conservative for opting to stay with her in-laws. Recently, the actress was trolled again by her fans and it went a bit extreme.

In her latest Instagram live, the actress slammed trolls who said that her husband Shoaib Ibrahim and in-laws have turned an actress into a naukrani. All this for taking care of her father-in-law who suffered a brain stroke recently and was hospitalised for almost a month. After he returned home, the couple decided to put him up in their own bedroom to make him feel more comfortable and they shifted to the guest room.

Reacting to the comments, Dipika said, “Sharam karo tum log. Uski privacy le li, these are the kind of messages you have been dropping to him…. Even in such difficult times you all are pointing out such futile things and trying to troll us. I pity you guys and I am concerned about your elders and the way you must be treating them. My in-laws have treated me like a daughter and it’s only right that I love and care for them as my own. If for them, we have to even sleep in the car or roadside, we are ready to do it. And in case you guys are saying all this out of concern, then get lost, I don’t need such concern.”

Shoaib and his family have been accused of being too conservative and old-school time and again. “If modernisation means that you do not love your family or take care of them, then we are happy being old school,” was Dipika’s reply to it.
Dipika is known to be one of the rare actresses who prefers to stay home when not shooting. It’s the reason why she’s never spotted at any parties. As Shoaib put it: “Aap log kehte ho ke actor ko naukrani bana diya hai.”
Towards the end of the video, Dipika stresses that she is happy being orthodox, conservative and old school: “I think they are frustrated in their own lives and can thus never find satisfaction and happiness. I have worked tirelessly for years and now it’s my choice to do fewer projects and focus on my domestic life.”
The Sasural Simar Ka actress also gets trolled for her choice of clothes. “I also get questioned about my dressing, well, it’s my choice. As an actor, one doesn’t always have to deck up or wear short clothes. At the end of the day, it’s about one’s comfort and choice,” she concluded.
