In the realm of public scrutiny, criticism and hurtful rumours often come hand in hand with fame. It's an unfortunate reality that many public figures have to face. 

However, rising local singer Nadeera Zaini, who recently emerged victorious in the singing competition 'Big Stage 2023,' opened up about the wave of hateful comments she encountered throughout the competition.

During the third week of the show, Nadeera received a notification that shattered her spirit - a comment comparing her nose to that of a pig. 

Overwhelmed with emotion, she couldn't help but break down, questioning how such hurtful remarks could be directed at someone like her. 

She wondered aloud how the commenter would feel if faced with similar negativity towards themselves or their loved ones.

The viral nature of the comments didn't go unnoticed, as one of the judges took it upon themselves to address the issue on stage. 

Offering words of encouragement, he boldly stated, "I'd like to smack whoever told you that you're not beautiful. Don't look down upon ourselves. Everything that's given to us by God has its own strength." 

These powerful words touched Nadeera's heart, leading to an outpouring of tears that resonated with everyone in the audience.

This incident serves as a poignant reminder to spread kindness and positivity. Let us remember that behind every public persona is a human being with emotions. 

If we have nothing nice to say, it's best to refrain from saying anything at all. Together, we can foster an environment where empathy and support triumph over hurtful words.
