Shikhar Pahariya, Janhvi Kapoor’s boyfriend, recently stood up to online trolls who targeted him for his caste. After posting festive Diwali photos with his pet dogs and girlfriend, a troll left a derogatory comment stating that Shikhar is “Dalit.” Famous for usually ignoring online negativity, Shikhar lashed out sharply, condemning the troll’s narrow-mindedness and ignorance.
A Strong Response to Casteism
Shikhar’s reply to the troll was powerful and to the point: “It’s honestly pathetic that in 2025, there are still people like you with such a small, backward mindset,” he replied. He went on to add that Diwali represents light, advancement, and togetherness, which were beyond the troll’s understanding. His post reminded everyone that India’s strength is in its diversity and inclusivity.
Shikhar went on to tackle the ignorance of the troll, telling him that rather than propagating hate, individuals should learn. His words rang true, pointing out that such narrow-mindedness is the real “untouchable” thing in society.
Shikhar’s Diwali Message
In his Diwali post, Shikhar posted a warm message regarding righteousness and thankfulness. He wished his followers a successful year, full of light and knowledge. His post also mentioned the need to assist and support others, giving a positive touch to the celebration of the festival.
