Indian Interview Host Sakshma Srivastava calls out toxic solo stans after her interview with BTS

Posted by louisa-williams399 pts Saturday, June 5, 2021

BTS recently wrapped up their interview with the beautiful Indian host Sakshma Srivastava


TIMES NOW shared a sneak peek of the BTS interview with ex-Miss India Finalist Sakshma Srivastav. BTS even showed their support and love for Indian fans by saying, "You live in our hearts Indian army" in Hindi. The BTS members introduced themselves with “Namaste,” and fans were quite excited to watch it.

Saksham posted on her Twitter, spoiling the interview time duration being 18 minutes. While armies were very excited about it, the harmless tweet got solo stans of a certain member angry for no apparent reason. Some Jimin solo fans have been going around calling out Sakshma and harassing her with hundreds of mean quotes and replies falsely accusing her of being a Jimin-anti and that they expect her to have no interaction with Jimin. They even called her a flop and an attention seeker. All of this even based on the preview and before the real interview went out. How can a harmless tweet regarding the time duration of the interview create such a response? This is straight-up toxic behavior from the solo fans.

Sakshma has interviewed many other K-pop groups, one of them being BTS's brother group TXT. She has been an excellent host and made each and every member feel comfortable and keep them engaged, asking them frequent questions and building up conversations. Her interviews were very well accepted and appreciated by kpop fans. So she clearly knows her job and does it well. So this attitude of jimin solo fans is bothersome and unacceptable.

Mass bullying and harassment are nothing new for solo stans since they have a very distinct history in such acts. They even badmouth and write malicious content about the other group members and degrade them just with the sore purpose of making their fave seem superior. This is absolutely toxic and cult behavior. This kind of people should be called out. And Sakshma did exactly that being the brave person she is. She called out such harassers.

Fortunately, after the interview aired on June 5, many people supported her.

Harassment and Bullying should never be supported, and such toxic behavior should be called out. These kinds of acts only ruin the image of your favorite in front of the world by projecting such a toxic image. So think before you act immature.

Akgaes are like rotten apples. Toss them out before they spoil the rest.

that was truly embarrassing and humiliating armchairs- Don't go around causing trouble for your fandom, they can't always keep up with this shit involving you solo stans. also I'm an indian, from both of the interviews, I can say sakshma is a true intellectual, the questions were truly good mostly cause In that interview itself, they don't get asked ridiculous questions about "who do you want to collaborate with" or "are you hooking up with armys" or "are you single or dating". Not at all. she asked genuine questions about their lifestyle after being so famous, the pressure, the recall of memories of going thru hardships and their way of presenting it into songs. She was better than any american interviewer. Also for TXT, She did mention them as BTS younger brother group, but not once compared them side by side, she herself sees TXT as a individual group and infact questioned them about how they feel when compared to BTS all the time and for each answer that the members gave, she applauded them, From what I saw, Jimin was smiling and laughing through the interview and not only him, the members seemed a lot comfortable. Sakshma was even applauded for her professionalism and her way of holding the interviews- SO BACK OFF ARMCHAIRS-
