Armeena Khan is known to be fairly vocal on her social media. The actor has always called spade a spade on Twitter and Instagram. When asked by a fan how the Bin Roye actor deals with negative criticism, Armeena responded with a detailed note posted on her Instagram story.
The actor explained that it is important to understand people’s intentions. She wrote, “People disguise their motivations. Look at the person criticising you. Are they coming at you from a place of helpfulness, kindness or hate/jealousy/envy?”
She went on to detail the difference between hate and constructive criticism, with the latter coming from a place of good intentions. “There is a big difference between criticism and hate. Constructive criticism is beneficial because you can work on yourself provided that they give you solutions as well.”
“Hate you do not have to deal with because people project their own insecurities onto you. So middle-finger them. If it’s strangers, ignore it. They don’t know anything about you,” she added.
Speaking about the hate she receives, Armeena shared, “If it’s someone you know then ask them for solutions too. For example, I have people criticising me day and night not knowing anything about me. They [trolls] are just envious and want what I have without putting the hard work in.”
She concluded her note with, “So, identify your well-wishers from haters, that is your first job. Good luck.”
The actor was recently honoured with a certificate of outstanding public service in the UK. While she should have been lauded for the outstanding achievement, many commented on how she wore a dress and sheer stockings. Talking about the same, the Janaan starlet shared, "I don’t understand why these nationalists, right-wingers and religious fanatics lecture me. For the last time, I do not represent you and my journey is personal."
