Suhana Khan Turns 24: Actor Opens Up On Constant Trolling

Actor Suhana Khan, Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan's daughter hit her 24th milestone today, on May 22. Born in 2000, she ventured into acting in 2023, making her debut in Zoya Akhtar's film, The Archies.

Before her involvement with The Archies, Suhana Khan had already been involved in brand endorsements and media interactions. However, during the film's promotional activities, the young actor not only showcased the film's energy but also shared her personal views on various topics. At one such promotional event, Suhana Khan discussed her aspirations as an actress and how she handles criticism from social media trolls. Let's explore the details of this interview.

Suhana Khan on Trolls

On being asked what would she like to change in the world, Suhana Khan said, "I want to make young girls feel confident and feel more in love with themselves in the world of social media where there is so much scrutiny. You feel low about your looks or whatever that may be." Khan also talked about how playing the character Veronica in the movie boosted her self-confidence. She said, "I really envied her self-confidence and the way she loved herself. There have been times when I have felt down in my confidence."

The interviewer also asked Khan about her plans on dealing with social media trolls. In her reply, Khan said that she doesn't really deal with it very well. She said, "What helps me ironically is that all the mean comments or whatever it may be have actually helped me value kindness a lot more. When I meet people...girls especially, it is just very heartwarming to see real people being so warm to you. It helps me a lot to separate the two that this is reality and that (social media trolls) is not."

Even before the release of her first film, Suhana Khan garnered a lot of popularity on social media. She now has around 5.2 million followers on Instagram. Earlier also Khan made the headlines for her befitting reply to trolls. Sharing screenshots of some mean comments she received on Instagram, she wrote, "I’ve been told I’m ugly because of my skin tone, by full-grown men and women, since I was 12 years old." Speaking against the obsession with height and fair complexion, Khan had said, "I hope it helps to know that I’m 5’3 and brown and I am extremely happy about it and you should be too.”
