Dangal famed starlet Fatima Sana Shaikh has been shamed for posting a picture of herself in a bikini in the month of Ramazan on her social networking site.


But Bollywood actor Richa Chadha, who is known for portraying bold characters in films like Gangs of Wasseypur and Masaan, says that women are trolled all the time, irrespective of the situation.

When asked about this controversy, Richa said, "I am not aware of this controversy but I feel, if she was an athlete or swimmer and if she would have had posted her picture, then also people would have shown a problem with it."

"Women are trolled all the time, it is not because it's a holy month of Ramadan or anything. Even on any other normal day, if she would have put a picture like this, then also there would have been horrible comments."

Richa also said that, "People can only comment on things, so it shouldn't matter much. I don't think it is something to be discussed also and media people should also be aware of that."

When Richa was asked about the importance of looking presentable and good, she said, "As an actor, it is important because it is visual medium and people look at your beauty, hair and fashion."

Fukrey Returns is directed by Mrighdep Singh Lamba. It also stars Pulkit Samrat, Ali Fazal, Varun Sharma,Vishakha Singh and Priya Anand.
