Shefali Shah and Rasika Dugal trolled for celebrating Mira Nair’s son Zohran Mamdani’s election win.

Mira Nair’s son’s victory
Recently, during the promotion of ‘Delhi Crime Season 3,’ Shefali Shah and Rasika Dugal expressed happiness over the historic victory of filmmaker Mira Nair’s son Zohran Mamdani in the New York mayoral election.
Both actresses shared their experiences working with Mira and showered Zohran with loving words. The entire cast reportedly applauded the news with joy.
“I’ve seen him grow up since childhood” – Shefali
Shefali Shah, who played Riya Verma in ‘Monsoon Wedding,’ said, “I never met him, but Mira would always send me Christmas cards with pictures of all three of us. I’ve seen him grow up from a little boy.
It’s so nice to know that.” She also expressed a desire to watch Johar’s viral video of “Dhoom Machale.”
It’s cringe to see these Indian movie celebs gushing over Zohran Mamdani’s victory.

Shefali Shah, however, should celebrate the victory by arranging a screening of her husband’s movie The Kerala Story for Mamdani 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/oG43RyFbob
Rasika Reveals Personal Connection
Rasika Dugal revealed that she had connected with Johar through Facebook years ago. She said, “This victory is very personal to me.
It has rekindled my faith in the world.” Rasika also revealed that she participated in a small canvassing session in Queens during the campaign.
Social Media Criticism Floods
Unfortunately, these emotional statements were misinterpreted on social media.
Many trolls attacked the actresses, calling them “charisma” and “show-offs.” One user wrote, “Who are these people?
Shefali Shah has proven to be a certified woke.” Another taunted, “They should celebrate by showing the film Kerala Story.”
This incident once again proves how little space there is for positive discourse on social media.
A mother’s spontaneous expression of happiness over her son’s success has now become a ‘controversy’.
