Social media has made it easier for netizens to bridge the gap with their favourite stars. However, the negativity that comes along with it is at its peak. While trolling has been become common today and even celebrities are used to it now, some of the detractors go so low that celebrities can’t help but lash out at them. That’s what happened with ‘English Vinglish’ fame and well-known face down South, Priya Anand, who slammed one of them who wrote that she is a ‘symbol of bad luck’ as her co-stars legendary actress Sridevi and JK Ritish have passed away after they worked with her.
