Ridhi Dogra Reacts To Twisha Sharma Death, Says “Stop Romanticising Marriage” In Powerful Social Media Note

The tragic death of Twisha Sharma has sparked widespread conversations around marriage, emotional abuse, and societal expectations, and now actor Ridhi Dogra has shared a deeply emotional and thought-provoking response on social media. Twisha, who married Bhopal-based Samarth Singh in December 2025, reportedly passed away on May 12 after allegedly facing severe mental torture and dowry harassment from her in-laws. Following the allegations, police registered a case against her husband and mother-in-law, retired judge Giribala Singh, while a Special Investigation Team (SIT) was formed to investigate the matter.

Reacting to the heartbreaking incident, Ridhi Dogra posted a long and reflective message urging young men and women to stop idealising marriage without understanding the realities of modern relationships. In her post, the actress stressed that marriage in 2026 cannot function on outdated social expectations and blind obedience.

Addressing today’s youth directly, Ridhi wrote: “Young Girls. And young boys. It's 2026. Please stop romanticizing marriage. The age of your parents and the world they grew up in has expired. Marriage is not the same. Boys should know that girls will Not do what you ask them to blindly. Because laws etc has empowered them. Today. They can get a job/a place to stay/an income and live peacefully in society. So they don't need to follow you and your orders like lambs. Girls don't need marriage for survival. For companionship. Yes. But not for dependency.”

The actress further highlighted that modern relationships require emotional maturity and realistic expectations from both partners. She also pointed out how men today are themselves trying to navigate changing social structures and evolving gender dynamics.

“Even if they wish to out of love... Their individuality will try and knock their head time and again. They will be frustrated because the world has changed. And girls pls don't expect your boyfriends to become Mr Prince Charming after marriage. They are human too and are figuring this new world out. It's more new for them because they have seen men being men. But society norms have shifted and what was required of them earlier has changed too. Pls don't expect any fairy tale. Educate yourself. Live for your self. And please stand up for yourself. Don't expect anyone to come and stand up for you,” she added.

In another section of her note, Ridhi Dogra also addressed the growing misunderstandings around feminism and equality, stating that feminism was never about attacking men but simply about ensuring equal respect and opportunity for everyone.

“The term Feminism has been reduced to shit. But true feminism is just equality. Thats it. Nothing more and nothing less. When I speak for girls I also speak for boys. When I argue for mental Health. It's for both genders. Feminism was never about putting men down. Yes it's started all Loud and angry because that's how every revolution starts. That's not how it is today.”

Ending her message on a spiritual and emotional note, the actress referred to Indian cultural philosophy and the symbolic balance of Shiv and Shakti, calling for dignity, grace, and mutual respect in relationships.

“Today women have opportunities. Times have changed. What every woman fought for is existing in practice. Let's also never forget...... We are from the land of Shiv and Shakti. Both go together. And the only way that happens..... With love and respect for yourself and for the other. Let there be Grace and Dignity. For both. Equally,” she concluded.

Ridhi Dogra’s statement has struck a chord online, with many praising the actress for addressing difficult truths about relationships, dependency, emotional health, and equality in modern society. Her words have added a strong voice to the ongoing conversation surrounding toxic marriages, dowry harassment, and the urgent need for emotional awareness and mutual respect in relationships today.
