Anita aka 'Vish' of Naagin 3 gets BODY SHAMED; Husband LASHES OUT!

37 yr old actress Anita Hassanandani has been playing 'Shagun' in popular Star Plus show 'Yeh Hai Mohabbatein' since 2013 and when Ekta Kapoor chose to cast her in one of the lead roles of 'Naagin' in Season 3 in Colors TV's popular supernatural series a month ago, no one would've imagined that she would be loved even more than the female protagonist Surbhi Jyoti (playing Bela/Ruhi) in it. Fans have been showering love on Anita since show's launch and we've been reading their reactions saying they want Anita to be paired opposite male lead Pearl V Puri (Mahir Sehgal) intead. But when it comes to social media and fans' feedback, there's always that dark side that can't be ignored either. This happened in Anita's case too when she was also trolled at the same time for her age and her broad waist with some body shaming comments coming her way. It was her husband Rohit Reddy who brought this to light and like a good hubby he also stood by her and shamed the trolls for targeting her body. Rohit took to Instagram and posted a picture where he's seen smirking while having his wife by his side and he writes a note to the trolls that reads - "My look, when i come across some body-shaming comments on my wifey! “While u r talking abt her broad waist... i am just stuck here wondering about that narrow mind of urs, b*^#*!”

Not only Rohit, but the maker of Naagin, TV czarina Ekta Kapoor also supported Anita by commenting on his post - "If she has a broad waist wat will mine b!!! 🕺🏻". We are sure the haters Rohit referred to as "b*^#*!" are those who have the problem with the entire lead female cast of 'Naagin 3' i.e. Surbhi Jyoti, Karishma Tanna and Anita Hassanandani and who have been appealing to get Mouni Roy of Season 1 and 2 back on Season 3. The hate started to came 'Naagin 3's way right from the time when the first poster was launched revealing Karishma Tanna as the first 'Naagin' of this season. Although now we've seen that she had a small role to play in season 3 but then Karishma was believed to be playing Mouni's role and when the trolls acted upon it rejecting Karishma, Mouni had come out to support her and Ekta Kapoor. Karishma had then posted a video of Mouni who was seen wishing Ekta for a successful run of 3rd season, with also giving good luck wishes to Karishma and the rest of the star cast (who wasn't revealed until then!).

A heartfelt thank you to Ekta for bestowing trust in me to step into the big shoes of Mouni for Naagin , she’s left a mark and her fans including me can’t think of replacing her . It’s a new season and I hope I can do the same justice that she did to the show . Thank you so much Mouni for the words of encouragement , estatic about starting this new journey with the mammoth brand , love always KT ????????❤️ @ektaravikapoor @imouniroy @colorstv

Mouni is making her Bollywood debut with Akshay Kumar's 'Gold' and we just saw her dancing away with her co-star at film's music launch event yesterday. Mouni has bagged roles in two more films which are Ranbir Kapoor-Alia Bhatt-Amitabh Bachchan starrer 'Bramastra' and John Abraham's 'RAW-Romeo Akbar Walter'. Coming back to Anita... hate or criticism is nothing in comparison to the applause she's been getting for the dynamic portrayal of 'Vishaka Khanna' aka Vish in 'Naagin 3'. Anita had even thanked fans mentioning the age factor herself, 2 weeks after show's launch when 'Naagin 3' topped the TRP charts scoring top position at BARC ratings(and continues be at No.1 for 4 weeks in a row)[Check Out FULL LIST of BARC Trp Ratings Here!]. Anita had written - "It’s amazing how, internationally, age is never a barrier when it comes to meaty roles in TV. Super proud that Indian television is opening up too. In a time where actors are in their teens and twenties, am really thankful to Ekta for trusting me with Naagin! Ratings are here ... we open at 4.2 and 4.5. Thank you all for your love .... Thank you for supporting US... off course every week is a new struggle but we promise to give our best and work hard."

And Anita sticks to her promise continuing to perform her best and while the husband has already given a strong message to the trolls, it is hilarious that the one's complaining about the "broad waist" of his wife, are also the one's unable to turn away from the developing story serving new twists & turns every weekend. Anita and Rohit have been also in news for the house warming parties they've been throwing for their friends from the television industry after they bought a new house recently.

Such a fun nyt! #Tambola rocks!

Can we move over a woman's body please and if you still feel the urge to troll, here's a little something for you! We did a story compiling 6 scenes from the earlier episodes (until Bela was revealed to be the real face of Ruhi), and which, have no logic! Go through this and let us know your thoughts on this[Naagin 3 Twist: Not Vish but Bela is Ruhi & fans are confused how! 6 scenes now Ekta Kapoor needs to explain!]!
