Chandan Shetty reacts to trolling against Niveditha Gowda post divorce

Kannada singer and former Bigg Boss Kannada winner Chandan Shetty has finally spoken out about the trolling and criticism directed at his former wife Niveditha Gowda following their divorce, calling for greater understanding when it comes to personal relationships.

The couple, once among Sandalwood’s most loved pairs, officially parted ways in 2024. Despite their separation, their personal lives continue to remain under public scrutiny, with Niveditha often facing criticism on social media.

“Love must come from both sides”

Breaking his silence, Chandan shared his perspective on relationships and separation, stating that love alone cannot sustain a bond unless it is mutual.

He explained that many relationships begin with expectations, but as reality unfolds, differences can emerge. When mutual understanding is missing, separation becomes inevitable. He added that it is always better for couples to part ways amicably rather than allowing issues to escalate into negativity or conflict.

Trolling and the weight of public perception

Addressing the trolling largely aimed at Niveditha, Chandan refrained from placing blame but highlighted the role of public perception.

According to him, public figures are often judged based on expectations created around them. When those expectations are not met, backlash follows. He also pointed out that social media tends to amplify opinions, where one comment can quickly snowball into widespread criticism.

Chandan emphasized that while those in the public eye must be mindful of how they are perceived, audiences too should exercise restraint when judging someone’s personal life.

A call for sensitivity

Without directly confronting the criticism, Chandan’s remarks underscore the need for empathy in discussions around celebrity relationships. At a time when online trolling continues to intensify, his response advocates for a more balanced and compassionate approach.

As conversations around their separation persist, his statement serves as a reminder that personal relationships are complex and deserve to be treated with sensitivity beyond public speculation.
