== Controversy ==
{{See also|Mera Jism Meri Marzi|My body, my choice}}

In March 2020, she was abused on [[social media]] after a clip from the reality show MTV Roadies went viral. In the clip, Dhupia berated a male contestant who claimed to have slapped his girlfriend for cheating on him. Dhupia was targetted with abusive comments claiming that she was "hypocritical" since her reaction to a female contestant who said she had slapped four men was not as strong. Her critics accused her of misrepresenting what [[feminism]] and [[gender equality]] stand for.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Deol|first=Taran|date=2020-03-16|title=Even Neha Dhupia doesn't get feminism.
