Kiara Advani Removed Name Of Rape Accused

Kiara Advani recently faced criticism for mentioning choreographer Jani Master, accused under the POCSO Act, in a social media post. Kiara had shared a BTS video of her mastering complex dance moves for the Game Changer song Dhop, thanking her team, including Jani Master, for their support.

However, netizens quickly pointed out Jani Master's alleged sexual assault case involving a minor. Following the backlash, Kiara edited her post, removing his name while leaving the rest of the caption unchanged.

Jani Master was arrested on September 19 for allegedly assaulting a junior female choreographer when she was 16. He was charged under the POCSO Act and faced the suspension of his National Film Award. Currently out on bail, his involvement in the controversy has sparked widespread outrage.

Kiara’s swift edit shows her attempt to distance herself from the controversy while continuing to celebrate her team’s efforts.
