Shalmali Kholgade gets a new haircut; gets trolled by netizens

Shalmali Kholgade

Always keen to experiment with her tresses, Shalmali Kholgade now rocks a silver crown. Shalmali always believes in pushing the boundary when it comes to her music or making a style statement. Though the singer considers it to be "the best headspace" she has ever been in, she is being trolled for her looks by a section of netizens.

"What ticked me off was the consistent judging and that needs to stop -- not just for celebrities, for everyone. We are free to colour our hair in whatever colour want, at whatever length. And the same goes for every boy or girl out there who wants to experiment with their looks. We need to stop confining ourselves within stereotypical norms. It's about time that hair colour, length, skin colour, weight should not become parameter for people's judgement," she told IANS.

While the singer is not pleased with the pesty attitude of online trollers, she reveals that she was expecting some reaction. "Well, I can definitely say that I was expecting a reaction because social media has given everyone the freedom to voice their opinion. The reactions have varied from beautiful to mean but you take them in your stride. 2020 has really taught me that as long as you are true to yourself, you shouldn't let the negativity deter you, " says Shalmali.

What's annoying her is the constant scrutiny. "I believe in myself, my music and my fashion. It works beautifully for me. I create music that makes me happy. I wear clothes that make me happy. I just do what makes me happy." That's the spirit, Shalmali!
