Rida Tharana Also Reacted To Backlash

Responding to the backlash, Rida shared a heartfelt note on her Instagram Stories. She explained that she has been busy taking care of her unwell mother and has also been financially supporting her family since last year. She wrote, “Me not working means stopping everything. She hates the city and we’ve tried everything to make her feel comfortable. One of those things was hosting people at home. I had friends over for iftar, and for the first time in a long time, I saw her smile, laugh, and enjoy herself.”

Furthermore speaking about Apoorva, she said, “I don’t want to give endless justifications. It’s Apoorva’s time to shine, and I won’t be a shadow of it. I see every little thing I’ve done taken out of context and blown out of proportion! Everything is up for misinterpretation. And I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again: people hate women. Women surviving, living, laughing, existing & just being.”

Rida said the last two months have been hard for her too. She added, “If I ever wanted to fake anything, I had 100 easier ways to do it. If you think l did that for 2 years, trust me, 2 months wouldn’t have been hard. So no….I’m not going to explain myself anymore. To the ones who want to stay, thank you. To the ones who don’t see me for who I am, feel free to unfollow me. I’m not here to be perfect. I’m not chasing fame! I’m grateful for the love I already have. All I’ve ever wanted is to earn enough to take care of my people, to travel, and to live a quiet life surrounded by love. That’s it. So god! Put me through everything you want to put me through but also give me the strength to overcome it. I’m exhausted, but I’m still here. Only love.”

She ended her note by concluding, “Also!! I don’t walk into fire knowing it’ll burn. But sometimes, I stumble into it!! And when I do, it burns me. As much as I’ve tried to stay away from all the negativity, some things still find a way to reach me and I won’t lie, a few of them have truly broken me. Being in a different country, all by myself, it hasn’t been easy. The anxiety has been bad. But what’s been holding me together is hearing how some of you still have my back. I wasn’t expecting that. So to those who stayed, who believed, who chose empathy over judgment…thank you. Truly.”
