Avneet Kaur: The New Soft Target of Online Hate — Why Is Her Confidence So Triggering?

Avneet Kaur trolling

Every now and then, the internet finds a new punching bag — not because she’s done anything wrong, but simply because she dared to shine. And the latest in this toxic cycle is none other than Avneet Kaur — actor, dancer, influencer, and unapologetically herself.

What began as a proud moment — meeting Hollywood royalty Tom Cruise — turned into an online circus of mockery.

The comments were brutal

Avneet Kaur: The New Soft Target of Online Hate — Why Is Her Confidence So Triggering?

“Tom? You’re writing as if he’s your mama ke ladke ka best friend!”“Did she even know whom she was meeting?”“Tom? Really? Addressing him like this is so disrespectful.”“Tom Cruise and some Chapri?”

Avneet Kaur trolled for Addressing Tom cruise as Tom

These weren’t just trolling; they were a reflection of deep-seated misogyny, celebrity worship twisted into toxic elitism, and a nation still uncomfortable with confident women charting their own paths.

Her Cannes debut — a milestone any young artist would be proud of — was dismissed with even harsher venom:

“Try to look like Deepika, lol!”“Oh god, all those fake smiles and gestures.”“Who even invited her to Cannes?”

Hate comments on Avneet Kaur's post

Let’s pause for a moment: What exactly has she done to deserve this? Worn a dress? Smiled on a red carpet? Met an actor? Got a post liked by Virat Kohli?

Yes, Virat Kohli — the moment he liked one of Avneet’s posts, the trolls exploded.Apparently, a simple Instagram like now requires legal clearance.

Why is Avneet Kaur triggering so many people?

Is it her rising international presence?Her bold fashion choices?Her unapologetic ambition?

Or is it something far darker — our society’s discomfort with women who don’t seek permission to succeed?

Let’s face it — a male influencer meeting Tom Cruise would be celebrated. A male actor debuting at Cannes, even on an invitation from a small brand, would be praised. But when it’s a young woman, suddenly the gatekeeping begins. Suddenly, she’s too much. Too visible. Too confident.

This isn’t about Avneet anymore.This is about us.

Our obsession with pulling down those who climb too high, too fast.Our irrational discomfort with women who don’t fit the mold.Our fear that someone younger, bolder, and more global might just outshine our “favorites.”

The uncomfortable truth?

Avneet Kaur isn’t the problem.She’s the mirror.

And what you see in that mirror — jealousy, insecurity, hypocrisy — is what truly needs fixing.

So next time you see Avneet trending, ask yourself:Are you reacting to her presence?Or are you just projecting your own limitations?

Because the truth is — a confident woman doesn’t need your approval. But you might need her courage.
