Child actors are often lauded for being talented and adorable. While they’re mostly not subjected to trolls, child actress Riva Arora has been in the eye of the storm, owing to a rather inane controversy. The young actress of Uri: The Surgical Strike and Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl fame, has been the subject of several mean memes online lately.

Not too long ago, a dance video of Arora dancing with TV actor Karan Kundrra surfaced online. The actor was trolled heavily, with users chiding him for shooting with a minor and how ‘problematic’ it appeared. While the video received a lot of flak, neither of the artists came forward to clear the air.

Now another video has surfaced online, where Arora can be seen grooving away with 45-year-old singer Mika Singh. This has again created quite a stir, and this time around, the 12-year-old’s parents haven’t been spared either.  Many have expressed their dismay over how the pre-teen has been roped in to romance older men.

Here’s The Video That Went Online: 

While this seems inappropriate to many, there are others who are questioning the absence of her parents. Look at what people are saying: 

Reportedly Arora was born in February 2010 in Delhi. She started her career in 2011 with Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri’s Rockstar. As the reports suggest she was just a little older than 1 when she was selected to be a part of Kapoor’s movie. Post that she modelled for various television and print advertisements. She has been a brand ambassador for brands like Biba, Flipkart and LG.  

Her entire management is handled by her mother Nisha Arora. She enjoys a massive Instagram following of 8.2 million followers. She keeps posting content with Ayan Zubair who is the brother of actress and influencer Jannat Zubair.  

Arora completed her primary education at a local school in Delhi, after which she moved her base to Mumbai to pursue a career in acting. While her mother is a lawyer, her father is a businessman. As per recent reports, she is a single child, but has often gone on record to call Gufran Ansari, a social media influencer, her brother.
