‘She was crying; I sent her so she’ll feel better’
[ad_1]
Actor Ajay Devgn has addressed for the first time how his daughter Nysa (14) was trolled after his father’s death earlier this year. Talking to Zoom in a joint interview with his Tanhaji co-star Saif Ali Khan, Ajay said that it was he who sent Nysa to the salon to take her mind off things.
After his father, action director Veeru Devgn died in May, several Bollywood celebrities flocked to Ajay’s home to pay their final respects. A day later, Nysa was spotted stepping out of a local salon by the paparazzi.
Her pictures went viral and she was mercilessly trolled. Addressing the bullying, Ajay said Nysa didn’t want to leave the house in the first time. “They (trolls) really don’t know what’s going on. I’ll give you an example, I never spoke about this. When I lost my father, second day, the kids were very upset. Nysa was crying all day and people were home, there were a lot of people. You know how the atmosphere is. I called her, I said stop being upset. Because you have to, they are kids. ‘Why don’t you go out, have something and come, eat something and come or things like this. She said I don’t want to go. I told her you please go, there will be a change of mood. They are here, we are handling people, we are doing it. You just go out. She didn’t know where to go, she left and she went to a parlour. I said go get a hair wash or something. They have clicked pictures of her entering a parlour and they have trolled her. ‘Grandfather just died and she’s in the parlour’. What right do they have? I am sending her so that she feels better, she’s going through a trauma. What right do they have to say that? It’s ridiculous. And then she’s come back howling. By the time she got back home, the pictures were out already.”
In pics: Stars who got trolled on social media
One might envy a celebrity for the glamorous lifestyle they live, but with the fame and success also comes the risk of being trolled.
Let’s take a look at some celebrities who’ve been slammed on social media.
Mahhi Vij
TV actor Mahhi Vij was trolled for putting on weight after delivering baby. She made an appearance on “Bigg Boss 13” after which she was fat-shamed on Instagram.Â
Not one to keep quite, Mahhi took to her Instagram stories to share a screenshot of it and wrote back that “was ur mother thin after delivering u like idiot”. She added few more statements on trolling, one of which read how, “Gaali bhi dete hai aur follow bhi karte hai (They use abusive language but follow you too). Fake accounts with no followers.”
Malaika Arora
Malaika Arora got severely roasted for posting a 20-year-old photo on the #10YearChallenge. As a result of the trolling, she changed her captions around as well. In another instance, the actress, who has always been known for her impeccable fashion sense and sartorial choices, was at the receiving end when she draped a saree. Trolls bombarded Malaika’s timeline with their insensitive comments and few even asked if she was preparing to tie the knot with half-aged Arjun Kapoor.
