Pooja Bhatt slams trolls
After the tragic death of Sushant Singh Rajput, many star kids have been subjected to vicious trolling online. Celebrities of the Bhatt family have been among those who are receiving tremendous abuse. Pooja Bhatt, took to Twitter, to share a series of tweets saying that it was not enough to merely ignore all the trolls.
According to her just ‘muting’ abusive behaviour isn’t the solution for her. She added how one has the right to choose who to let in their homes, in the same way, one should not allow miserable souls on social media to become a part of one’s world. Check out her tweets here:
Not enough to merely ignore or mute any & all aggressive,abusive behaviour one observes. Report,block abusive behaviour towards one & all.We choose who we let into our homes so why permit our social media accounts to be inundated by motivated/misguided/inherently miserable souls?

Criticism is one thing. Abuse quite another. Ignoring abuse seems to fuel those unleashing it to target more people. This has to stop. One can and should agree to disagree but having access to someone on social media doesn’t give anyone the right to make threats & hurl abuse.

That’s what I am saying as well. Besides,criticism is not ‘power’. Like praise is not either. One needs to take both criticism and praise with a pinch of salt. But abusive behaviour and threats towards anyone should be unacceptable to us all.
