Social Media Influencer Kanika Sharma has spoken out against online trolling following her interfaith marriage to Saqib Saifi, addressing the backlash that has surfaced across platforms in recent weeks. Known for her comedy and lifestyle content, Kanika had frequently collaborated with Saifi before their professional relationship evolved into a personal one, culminating in their wedding in March.
The marriage has triggered strong reactions online, with sections of social media users posting abusive and critical comments targeting the couple. Much of the criticism has centred around the interfaith nature of their union, reflecting broader societal debates that often emerge in such cases. Despite the negativity, the couple has not publicly indicated any change in their stance, choosing instead to address the issue directly.
In response to the trolling, Kanika shared an emotional video on Instagram, where she confronted the hate and questioned the authority of strangers to interfere in her personal decisions. She expressed distress over the intensity of the abuse, stating that it had extended beyond her to include offensive remarks directed at her family members, including her parents and brother. Her message highlighted the emotional toll such online harassment can have on individuals and their loved ones.

While social media offers a platform for expression and engagement, it also exposes individuals to unchecked criticism and abuse, particularly in matters related to personal choices. Kanika’s response reflects a broader pushback by influencers and public personalities against intrusive and hostile behaviour online.
