Kartika Putri is not an unfamiliar name among Indonesian celebrities. The reason is, the woman who was born on January 20, 1991, often appears on television screens, either as an actress or presenter. In the past, she often dressed sexily and openly. However, Kartika chose to convert and cover herself by wearing a hijab in 2018. Most recently, she is now confident in wearing a niqab.
Many netizens were shocked by the former model's decision. Although some praised her, there were also many who gave snide comments. Some even accused Kartika of wearing a niqab because it covered up bad things.
"I migrated because I was afraid of being caught prostitution of artists," wrote a netizen.
Receiving the comment, Kartika immediately became furious, she did not accept being slandered excessively. She felt sad and devastated. Kartika Putri emphasized that she had never done what she was accused of. She was also upset because comments like this could be read by her husband and children.
"Thank God, sir. I have never done anything as despicable as you slandered me. Do you know that I have a family too, a husband and children who can also read!" said Kartika Putri.
Despite the accusations, Kartika's journey to cover herself using a niqab was not easy. The following is a collection of her stories, compiled by brilio.net from various sources on Wednesday (28/8).
After deciding to wear a niqab, she slowly deleted all her photos showing her face on social media. Kartika also said she did not want anyone else to spread the photos.
