Pearle Maaney loses 3 lakh Instagram followers
Pearle Maaney lost over 3 lakh Instagram followers in two days after backlash over her comments on student protests.
She posted about student protests at Jantar Mantar, calling for peace and safety, and later disabled comments due to criticism.
Maaney referred to a 'failed filmmaker' in Instagram Stories, perceived to be directed at veteran director Siby Malayil.
Joe Sibi Malayil, Siby Malayil's son, publicly defended his father, calling Maaney a coward and challenging her.
