Laughter Chefs 2’s Reem Shaikh slams trolls who called her ‘ignorant’ on not commenting on Ahmedabad Plane Crash; says ‘My sister worked with the crew’ |

Actor Reem Shaikh has responded to trolls who dubbed her ‘ignorant’ after a video of her went viral. When asked about the Ahmedabad plane crash in a video taken on the sets of Laughter Chefs 2, Reem appeared to be uninformed. After receiving abuse online, she responded by stating that the topic is highly personal to her, as her sister is an Air India pilot.Reem penned a long statement on Instagram slamming the trolls, saying, “First of all, to everyone trolling me for not knowing about the plane crash -please stop. My sister flies for Air India. My real sister. When the crash happened, I was one of the first to know. I’ve watched her break down, sitting at home, crying, mourning the loss of her fellow crew members. This isn’t just a headline for me; it’s deeply personal.” She further added, “Secondly, the pap who asked me said, ‘Kal ke baare mein kuch bolo,’ not ‘Kal ke plane crash ke baare mein kuch bolo.’ It’s heartbreaking how quickly assumptions are made. If I seemed distant, it wasn’t because I didn’t care. It was because I wasn’t asked about the tragedy directly, and I wasn’t going to start speaking about something so sensitive without being asked specifically.”Reem then concluded, “Lastly, I usually avoid standing and talking to the media. To those calling me insensitive, please understand -1 can’t bring myself to grieve publicly, in front of cameras, only to turn around and act carefree later. That’s not me. It’s not how I process pain. This loss has hit close to home in ways I can’t even explain. My sister works with these people. I’ve seen her cry for them, and I’ve cried with her. Please don’t judge someone’s heart based on a brief moment you saw on camera. This is a tragedy, and we should all be mourning it with compassion, not tearing each other down.” Keep reading this space for more updates.
