Dia Mirza recently grabbed headlines after a candid confession regarding her 5-year-old son schooling a coconut vendor for using plastic. After the clip from Soha Ali Khan's podcast surfaced online, many on the internet criticised Dia and her son, calling them 'tone-deaf' and 'entitled arrogance'. However, actor Richa Chadha has now come out in support of Dia.

Richa Chadha backs Dia Mirza

Taking to her X account, Richa penned a long note calling out trolls who were criticising Dia and bullying her 5-year-old son. She reshared a post slamming the Ikka actress and wrote, "Y’all wonder why actors don’t speak up ? (Damned if you do, damned if you don’t!) Apart from the routine haranguing by the usual, brain-dead suspects, there’s also this! Of course punch up yaar, actors ki mental health ka kya hai. Aaye din suicides kar ke salacious news cycles ko feed bhi karna to artist ka kartavya hona chahiye. Haina? Women with privilege will be shamed if say anything outside the syllabus. Lipstick, bikini, GRWM, OOTD, make-up haul et al."
