It appears like Kajol's upcoming web series is the only "trial" in her life at the moment. Kajol posted a poster for The Trial, the Hindi adaptation of The Good Wife, on Friday morning after declaring a "break" from social media.
Sharing the poster for The Trial, Kajol wrote, “The tougher the trial, the harder you come back! Catch the trailer for my courtroom drama #HotstarSpecials #TheTrial - Pyaar Kanoon Dhokha on June 12th. #TheTrialOnHotstar.”
It featured Kajol dressed in the black robes of a lawyer. The release date of the trailer was specified as June 12.
Kajol had to face the wrath of internet users for this publicity stunt. One wrote, “DISGUSTING IS THE WORD! Absolutely shameful marketing.”
Another added, “Awesome! Crying wolf! No one will believe you next time.”
A third wrote, “Pathetic marketing. It can be very triggering for some people and you are using it as a publicity stunt.”
Another wrote, “lmaooo where are those divorce specialists now who were speculating shits in her last post????? that's why we should know the truth before we speak. half knowledge is a dangerous thing you see!!”
Fans are currently outraged by Kajol's decision to promote the web series this way, and the hashtag #ShameOnKajolHotstar is trending on Twitter.
Additionally, as she had simply hidden her Instagram posts as part of this marketing approach, they are now once again visible on her page.
