Social media erupted with criticism for Suhana Khan’s latest commercial, where the young starlet, often under the shadow of her father Shah Rukh Khan’s legacy, became the target of harsh trolling. Suhana, who has faced scrutiny over nepotism and her acting skills, recently appeared in a new Vivo advertisement, which has stirred strong reactions online.
Mixed Reactions to Suhana’s Career Moves
Suhana’s debut performance as Veronica in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies received a mixed response, with some critics pointing out flaws in the character’s arc. Now, her latest project—a Vivo phone ad—has again placed her under the scanner. The ad features Suhana dancing in a black crop top and jeans, coupled with a single dialogue, resembling a music video format.

Harsh Comments on Reddit
Many Reddit users were unimpressed with the ad, branding it overly long and critiquing Suhana’s performance. Some viewers felt she struggled to command attention on screen, with one user commenting, “She has negative screen presence. Even with her in the spotlight, the side characters steal the attention.” Another added, “These new ‘nepo girls’ just don’t have it. I couldn’t watch more than 10 seconds of this.”
Suhana’s Past Response to Trolls
This isn’t the first time Suhana has faced public criticism. Previously, she addressed trolls targeting her skin tone, sharing a heartfelt post about her experiences with colorism. She revealed being called terms like “dark” and “kali” since the age of 12. Refuting accusations of undergoing skin-lightening treatments, she wrote, “We are all Indian, which makes us brown. Hating your own people reflects deep insecurities.”
“All Indian, which automatically makes us brown – yes we come in different shades but no matter how much you try to distance yourself from the melanin, you just can’t. Hating on your own people just means that you are painfully insecure.”
Suhana’s Career Ahead
Despite the negativity, Suhana remains undeterred. She is set to appear alongside Shah Rukh Khan in the upcoming film King, where she will play the role of a young girl guided by a complex don, played by SRK. The film also stars Abhishek Bachchan and Abhay Verma in pivotal roles. This marks another chance for Suhana to showcase her acting potential and win over critics.
