Watch How Shubhi Joshi Turned Dance Hate into Praise, Thanks to Esha Gupta
Shubhi Joshi faced criticism for being "too much" until Esha Gupta praised her talent. One reel, one compliment, and the narrative flipped.

Content Creator Shubhi Joshi showcased her signature expressive dance style, a blend of graceful movements and on-point emotive expressions in her dance reels. As the reel began gaining attention, it also attracted criticism from a few online trolls who mocked her dancing and her expressions, calling it “overacting,” “too extra,” and even claiming she “doesn’t dance well.” But Shubhi didn’t respond with aggression. Instead, she let the universe respond on her behalf.
Esha Gupta Noticed Shubhi’s Reel And That Changed Everything
The reel caught the eye of none other than Bollywood actress Esha Gupta, who complimented Shubhi Joshi’s dance and expressions, a moment that Shubhi herself proudly shared on her Instagram story. In the story, she revealed that Esha had seen her “Uyi Umma” reel and remembered her from it, expressing how impactful her performance had been. This unexpected nod from a Bollywood diva not only silenced the hate but also reignited the reel’s reach, sending waves across the influencer scene.
When the Hate Turns into Validation
The flood of comments was unexpected, but something even more surprising happened: Bollywood actress Esha Gupta watched the reel and loved it. As Shubhi later shared in her Instagram story, Esha personally complimented her on her dance and expressions, saying she remembered her from her earlier “Uyi Umma” reel. That recognition alone was enough to shift the tone of the conversation.

From being trolled for “not dancing well” to being praised by a Bollywood star, the narrative flipped in true social media fashion. Shubhi’s story, where she gracefully shared this moment, wasn’t just a clapback. It was a statement of quiet confidence: talent speaks, and the right people do notice.
