In a dramatic turn of events that has set social media ablaze, popular Bengali television actor Riju Biswas has found herself at the center of a major controversy stemming from what many are calling "excessive" promotion of sarees on her social media platforms.
The Saree Saga That Sparked Outrage
The trouble began when Biswas, known for her roles in various Bengali serials, started receiving intense criticism for repeatedly sharing content featuring traditional sarees. Social media users quickly turned hostile, flooding her accounts with negative comments and memes criticizing what they perceived as monotonous content.
"The backlash escalated to alarming levels," sources close to the actor revealed. "What started as mild criticism soon transformed into targeted harassment, with some users crossing all boundaries of decency in their comments."
Police Intervention and Legal Action
Unable to bear the constant cyberbullying and personal attacks, the actor took the decisive step of filing an official police complaint at the Lake Police Station in Kolkata. The complaint details the extensive online harassment she has been facing and seeks protection from further digital abuse.
"This isn't just about criticism anymore—it's about organized trolling and personal attacks that have crossed into dangerous territory," a police official familiar with the case stated.
Social Media Divided Over the Controversy
The incident has sparked heated debates across digital platforms, with opinions sharply divided:
- Supporters argue that Biswas has every right to post content of her choice and that the backlash represents unnecessary bullying
- Critics maintain that public figures should expect feedback when their content becomes repetitive
- Digital rights activists emphasize that while criticism is valid, targeted harassment crosses ethical boundaries
Broader Implications for Content Creators
This incident raises important questions about the boundaries of social media criticism and the mental health challenges faced by public figures in the digital age. As more creators face similar situations, the Riju Biswas case could set important precedents for how such conflicts are handled legally and socially.
The Kolkata Police are currently investigating the matter, while the entertainment industry watches closely as this digital drama continues to unfold.
