Rise And Fall: Aahana Kumra receives DEATH and RAPE threats from Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh's fans, says 'What era...'

Fans of fellow Rise and Fall contestant Pawan Singh threatened to kill and rape actress Aahana Kumra. She was forced to report the harassment to the show's producers because it persisted even after she publicly apologised and made amends on stage.

Recently evicted from the reality show Rise And Fall, actor Aahana Kumra has spoken out about being threatened with murder and rape by followers of fellow participant and Bhojpuri star Pawan Singh. Kumra alleged that despite the fact that the artists had resolved their issues on stage, the abuse persisted online and compelled her to inform the show's producers of the incidence.

What did Aahana Kumra say about the threats?

Kumra spoke about how serious the messages were in an interview with Bollywood Bubble. She said, "I came out of the show and got a lot of death and rape threats," she said, adding that she forwarded screenshots to the show’s makers. “So why was I getting such threats? Maine toh aisi koi baat nahi kahi thi (I didn’t say any such thing)." The actor stressed that she didn't act aggressively or mistreat anyone on the show.

Aahana questioned the biased character of...

She questioned the severe and biased character of the harassment she experienced, expressing her deep shock at the circumstances. "I was like, oh wow, hum log kaunse zamane mein reh rahe hain? (What era are we living in?)," she said. "Kis sadi me hain ki meri ek baat kehne par mujhe itne threats mil rahe hain, itni cheezein mere baare mein boli ja rahi hain—par kisi aur ko kuchh nahi kaha ja raha (Which century are we in that for saying one thing, I am receiving so many threats, so many things are being said about me—but no one else is being told anything)."

Kumra said THIS about Pawan Singh

Kumra added that, while she had said something that Singh's followers disapproved, the situation was resolved peacefully onstage. She added that she now holds Singh in high regard, "Kyunki bahut contestants ne mere baare mein bahut kuch kaha aur aaj tak sorry nahi bola (SInce, many contestants said a lot about me and haven’t apologised till today)." She recalled the moment of reconciliation when she touched Singh’s mother’s feet, and he responded, “Agar main aapse sorry bol doon toh main chhota nahi ho jaunga (If I say sorry to you, I won’t become less as a person)."

Acknowledging fans anger, she stated, "I understand ki log gussa ho jaate hain, aur unhe lagta hai ki maine kuch aisa keh diya jo unhe bura laga (I understand that people get angry, and they feel that I said something that hurt them)."

On the work front, Kumra was last seen in the film 'Salaam Venky', featuring Kajol and Vishal Jethwa in pivotal roles.
