Digital Desk: Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela chopped off her hair in support of the Iranian anti-hijab protests on Monday (October 17). She shared her new set of photos on Instagram in which she can be seen getting her hair chopped, along with a long caption that talks about protests in Iran, feminism, and the death of Ankita Bhandari, who was murdered in Uttarakhand last month.
In the photos, she can be seen wearing a blue kurta while sitting on the floor getting her hair cut. She also wrote, "Chopped my hair off! Cutting my hair in support of Iranian women and girls, who have been killed in protests at the death of Mahsa Amini after her arrest by Iranian morality police and for all the girls. And for 19-year-old girl, my Ankita Bhandari from Uttarakhand. Around the world, women are uniting in protest against the Iranian government by cutting their hair. Respect women."
"A global symbol for women’s revolution… hair is seen as a symbol of the beauty of women. By chopping off hair in public, women are showing that they don’t care about society’s beauty standards and won’t let anything or anyone decide how they dress up, behave or live. Once women come together and consider one woman’s issue an issue of the entire womankind, feminism will see a new vigour," she added.
Netizens took to the comments section to voice their displeasure with Urvashi's post, while others asked to know what she had done for India's women.
A netizen commented, "India ki women ke liye hi kuch kar lo pehle (first do something for the women in India)."
Many even teased Urvashi by taking cricketer Rishabh Pant's name. One user wrote, "Where is chotu bhaiya?"
Earlier, Urvashi compared herself to Mahsa Amini after being trolled by a section of netizens who said she was stalking Rishabh Pant, who is in Australia for the T20 World Cup.
Sharing a clip of herself, she wrote, "First in Iran Mahsa Amini and now in India… it’s happening with me they’re bullying me as a stalker??? No one cares about me or supports me… A strong woman is one who feels deeply and loves fiercely. Her tears flow as abundantly as her laughter. She is both soft and powerful, both practical and spiritual. She’s a gift to the world."
