Recently, many people on the internet were left disgusted by a video of famous TV actor Karan Kundra romancing a 12-year-old. Yes, you read that right – Karan Kundra, 38-year-old, romancing a 12-year-old on screen!
A problematic video of Karan Kundra acting opposite 12-year-old Riva Arora went viral for all the wrong reasons. For starters, Riva is only a 12-year-old, who rose to fame after her short stint in Vicky Kaushal’s URI: The Surgical Strike. Riva played the role of Vicky Kaushal’s niece in the movie.
A few years later Uri, Riva’s transformation has left many shocked.
In the recent video, Riva looks much older than a 12-year-old. And what is even more disgusting is how she is being sexualized in it.

Thought ‘kamsin'(15-16 yr old) girls being sexualized in songs was the big problem in bollywood then came across story of Riva Arora. pic.twitter.com/yK2ROfeNoI

This Riva Arora story is much problematic, her parents are so disturbed that they uses steroids to a 12 years old to be looking 18 plus.

This is cruelty
Riva Arora’s parents are the kind of parents that do not deserve a kid

Until 3 days ago, I hadn’t heard of Riva Arora. Now I know she’s a 12 year old who’s had natural or artificial precocious puberty and has been pushed by her ambitious parents to pose with men 3 times her age. This is the worst kind of exploitation.

Reading a lot about Riva Arora, and damn, i am literally shocked and baffled. And i heard she got steroids and breast augmentation at the tender age of 11. Hearing a lot about her mother too, checked and found she’s a lawyer in Supreme Court, like waah. pic.twitter.com/ljTJy7jpof

Riva Arora’s parents hv special place reserved in hell.. hw can some1 do this to their own child, sexualizing at such a young age..may be she likes glitz and glamour now but eventually would put her in lot of mental stress in future. These kindof parents should be jailed fr
