After a friendly competition on
Koffee With Karan
6,
Anshula Kapoor
was trolled, threatened, and abused for seemingly choosing to help Arjun instead of Jahnvi. A section of the internet called Anshula out for being biased towards Arjun, while some called her "mean and rude."
Some of the comments were about her ‘vile’ nature and that she shouldn’t be around Jahnvi and Khushi.
Janhvi, during a conversation with
Priyanka Chopra
for the Facebook live session 'Social For Good', said that Anshula received "rape threats" for not helping Janhvi out on the show.
Jahnvi had also spoken about the impact of
social media
trolling. She had said that people are always quick to judge on social media. She added that her sister recently got trolled for something that happened on Koffee with Karan. She started getting rape threats, and it was weird for her because people on social media are faceless.
Arjun Kapoor
, who was incensed with the treatment of his sister on social media, took to Twitter (now X) and wrote, "Something I assumed was an absolute non-issue on ‘Koffee With Karan’ has escalated into Anshula being abused, and I can't be bothered by protocol anymore. I hope your mom or sister never has to go through what you have put us through."
Host Karan Johar had also backed Arjun and added, "It was a harmless fun game and did not warrant this response! People genuinely need to stop this intense negativity."
In the last episode of Koffee With Karan 6, Arjun Kapoor shared the Koffee couch with Janhvi, where they talked about their relationship dynamics after Sridevi (Janhvi's mother) died in February 2018. In a face-off segment on the show, Karan Johar asked Janhvi and Arjun to call up a family member and get them to say, 'Hey, Karan, it's me.' Janhvi dialed Anshula's number, and as soon as she picked up the phone, Arjun asked her not to say anything. Arjun won the round, and the Internet lashed out at Anshula for not helping Janhvi.
A day after the episode aired on TV, Janhvi shared a picture of herself and Anshula. The comments section soon filled up with negative remarks about Anshula. Replying to an Instagram user who accused Anshula of favoring Arjun, Janhvi wrote: "She couldn't hear me and asked me after the show got over what that call was about."
