"that helps me a lot to kind of separate the two."
Suhana Khan revealed what helped her cope with “mean comments” on social media.
The daughter of Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan is set to make her acting debut in The Archies.
While promoting the Netflix film, Suhana explained how she deals with trolls and admitted that she is still learning how to cope with the negativity.
She said: “I don’t deal with it very well, to be honest.
“I think actually what helps me ironically is that all the mean comments, whatever it may be, has actually made me value kindness a lot more.
“And when I meet people, going to colleges and things like that, meeting girls especially, it is just very heartwarming to see real people and how they are so warm to you, so that helps me a lot to kind of separate the two.
“That this is reality, and that (the internet trolling) is not.”
Suhana Khan previously said she has been trolled over her appearance, revealing she has been called ugly because of her skin tone.
Calling for an end to colourism, Suhana posted:
“There’s a lot going on right now and this is one of the issues we need to fix!!
“This isn’t just about me, it’s about every young girl/boy who has grown up feeling inferior for absolutely no reason.
“Here are just a few of the comments made about my appearance.
“I’ve been told I’m ugly because of my skin tone, by full-grown men and women, since I was 12 years old.
“Other than the fact that these are actual adults, what’s sad is that we are all Indian, which automatically makes us brown – yes we come in different shades but no matter how much you try to distance yourself from the melanin, you just can’t.
“Hating on your own people just means that you are painfully insecure.
“I’m sorry if social media, Indian matchmaking or even your own families have convinced you, that if you’re not 5′ 7 and fair you’re not beautiful.
“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.”
The Archies is set to premiere on December 7, 2023.
The film will also mark the debuts of Agastya Nanda and Khushi Kapoor.
Reportedly, Suhana will also be collaborating with her father. A source told Pinkvilla:
“The film has been titled King and will be a one-of-a-kind action thriller with strong dynamics shared by Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan.
“One would have expected SRK and Suhana to team up on a relatively soft film against the backdrop of father and daughter, but they are ready to break the norm by collaborating for the first time on an action thriller.
“The flavour of action in King will be very different from what SRK has done in Pathaan and Jawan.
“This one would be sleek with a lot of chase sequences. However, the core plot is emotional and driven by the story.
“It has lots of twists and turns, which is the reason why Sujoy has been bestowed with the responsibility of direction.”
