The comment section of her video features mixed reactions, with some supporting Dhruv Rathee, others opposing him, and some questioning Karolina’s claims. The video has since gone viral, amassing over 4.6 million views.
One of the most notable comments expressed regret on behalf of those who threatened her, stating, “Real Bharateeya sanskriti is not like this.” Another user urged her not to leave India, while one Dhruv Rathee supporter commented, “Lol, I’m a Dhruv Rathee supporter and I have no idea who she is. Do you all really think we’ll attack her? Are we fans of some low-key influencers?” Yet another user expressed solidarity with Karolina, suggesting she engage with major media outlets for broader support instead of relying on video content alone.
Karolina claims to have received around 220 death threats following her critiques of Dhruv Rathee.
She runs a YouTube channel called India in Details, where she has analyzed Rathee’s content, asserting that it promotes an anti-India narrative. This has ignited considerable debate among his fans in both India and Germany.
Furthermore, Karolina has demanded that Dhruv Rathee’s social media accounts be banned due to what she considers false propaganda. She and her husband allege that Rathee’s followers previously attacked them in Germany in 2023, breaking into their car and stealing their electronics. Amidst these threats, she sought protection from the Government of India in May 2024, sharing disturbing screenshots of threats, including rape threats directed at her.
In her viral Instagram post, Karolina affirmed that her family intends to stay in India, despite needing to enhance their security measures.
