Netizens Find 12-Year-Old Riva Arora Romancing Karan Kundrra Disturbing

Riva Arora, a 12-year-old child actor who has appeared in films like URI, Mom, and Gunjan Saxena, was recently seen in a romantic Instagram reel with 38-year-old actor Karan Kundrra, which was later deleted.

Ever since the video was released, netizens have been criticising the parents of the child actor and Kundrra for agreeing to make such a reel. However, Riva Arora has multiple other similar videos with grown men, including one with singer Mika.

The reel with Kundrra was a promotional video for Kundrra’s new music video, ‘Akhiyan’.

The video featured Riva playing a character who is with a man, presumably her ‘boyfriend’, in a kitchen making tea. The scene then shifts to her drinking with a different man, played by Karan Kundrra, while she is messaging the former.

Netizens' Reaction

Netizens have expressed outrage to see a 12-year-old featured with such older men in suggestive ways. Here is how internet users are reacting:

It gets worse… here’s a current video that went viral in the media of #KaranKundrra and some other guy doing a “relationship reel” on Instagram with #rivaarora this is vile because SHE IS 12!! HE IS 38! 🤮🤢

Look at the big heels they put her in to make her taller 😳 pic.twitter.com/lxUhuibs0S

A 12-year-old romancing a 38-year-old in itself sounds so dark and uncomfortable which makes it difficult to understand how the parents of a child and a grown man agree to do something like this. How has it all come down to fame and money?#rivaarora

The whole Riva Arora case is mind-boggling.
If an educated, “lawyer” mother is grooming her child for instant fame I wonder where’s the society even heading rn.

yes her parents are responsible but karan and the other guy are equally in this. they should've just not accepted this knowing a 12 yrs old is in here?

and abt the last line there are a lot of child actors in the industry not just riva.

Here’s a thread of how Riva Arora a child actress and Instagram influencer/ YouTuber is being exploited by her mother!! Her mother is allowing her to dress provocatively and act and dance with older men in their 40’s!! 👇🏽#rivaarora#KaranKundrra#bollywood

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

Arora's video with Kundrra is not the only one that has been criticised. She has been doing such reels with numerous older men including popular ex-TikTokers and even musician Mika Singh, who is 45.

According to reports, Arora's mother has also been accused of getting Arora breast augmentation and giving the girl steroids.

This. This is what we're fighting about. And disgusted about. Not about kundra about tejasswi. Not everything is about your idols. Get out of BB and twitter and know what's happening in the country and what's right and wrong. Exploiting a child for fame,is 🤢 pic.twitter.com/61jdeogJwd

The most idiotic thing I see on Instagram is Parents making Account for their newly born child and exposing them to internet this early and even more stupid thing I am seeing these days is Pet Owners making Insta Account for their Dog. I just don’t get the point.#RivaArora

Just found out Riva Arora's mother injected her with growth hormones that are usually given to fatten up poulty at age 11 so that she can grow her Instagram audience and get roles in films.

We are hitting levels of Kaliyug that shouldn't even be possible.

How it is possible..?? How can any mother cruel and selfish ?
Apparently this girl (Riva arora)is just 12 and has been given steroids by her own mother.

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
