‘Sympathy card ab nahi chalta’: Tanishaa Mukerji trolled for saying she’s not a star like Kajol on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11

When two celebrities from the same family enter the film industry as actors, it isn’t necessary that both of them achieve the same success. There have been many instances when one sibling became far more popular than the other. One such example is Kajol, who climbed the ladder of success to the very top, and her younger sister Tanishaa Mukerji. The latter did garner fame and praise for her participation in Bigg Boss 7 and Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 7. Well, Tanishaa is now all set to burn the dance floor as a contestant on Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 11.

The first promo of the much awaited dance reality show has now surfaced on social media. In this short clip, we get a glimpse of Tanishaa’s energetic performance on Laila Main Laila with her choreographer partner Tarun Raj Nihalini. While Malaika Arora cheers for her from the judges’ panel, Farah Khan calls her a star. However, Tanishaa doesn’t accept the term ‘star’. In the video, she says, “Meri family mein Ajay Devgn, Kajol sab stars hain. Main woh mukaam tak nahi pohonchi. I'm not a star.” Well, netizens had mixed reactions to this emotional promo.

For instance, one netizen asked: “Why she’s playing a victim here ?”, whereas another social media user wrote, “Just a reminder u r late Tanisha, ye sab 10 saal pehle chalta tha "Sympathy card" ab nahi chalta.” A third netizen wrote: “Kya overactress hai aur kitni jealous hai ye apne hi logo se hmesha kajol se ladti hui hi dikhti hai”, while another nasty comment read: “Agar acting achi kar leti to jarur bnti star.”
