Controversy Surrounding 'Tabahi'

Recently, the song 'Tabahi' from the film *Toxic* has sparked considerable debate online, particularly due to the intimate scenes featuring Kiara Advani and Yash. Many social media users are criticizing Kiara for her choice to participate in such scenes, especially given her status as a married woman and a mother. In contrast, Yash, who is also married, has not faced the same level of scrutiny.

**Huma Qureshi's Perspective**
Addressing the backlash, Huma Qureshi expressed confidence that the film *Toxic* will ultimately vindicate its cast. She suggested that the negative comments would diminish once the film is released.

During an appearance on Nikhil Taneja’s show *Be A Man Yaar*, the discussion highlighted the disparity in trolling between Kiara and Yash. Huma remarked, "It is very sick; it is disgusting. But I think the women in this film will have the last laugh. There is no point in defending everything, because you cannot change people's mindset with words. I would like the film itself to provide the answer."

**Kiara's Ongoing Trolling**
Since the debut of 'Tabahi', Kiara Advani has been subjected to relentless trolling for her bold scenes. The backlash has extended to her husband, Sidharth Malhotra, who has also received negative comments on his social media accounts.

**Details About 'Toxic'**
Directed by Geetu Mohandas, *Toxic* is set to hit theaters on August 26. The film boasts a star-studded cast, including Yash, Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, and Huma Qureshi.
