We live in a strange, weird age of the internet. Many with access to the internet think they have obtained the right to demean anyone they want. Point in case is Anshula Kapoor receiving threats on social media from trolls for something unimaginably trivial. Her sister Janhvi Kapoor has already reacted to the trolling, and now her brother Arjun Kapoor, too, has shared what he feels about the whole situation. And we are totally on board with what the Ishaqzaade actor has said. He took to his Twitter and wrote, "Something I assumed was an absolute non issue on Koffee with Karan has escalated into @anshulakapoor being abused & I can’t be bothered by protocol anymore. F**k all those trolls who wish harm to my sister. I hope ur mom or sister never have to go thru what u have put us thru... (sic)".
This controversy began after a fun moment on Koffee with Karan. In a segment on the show, Janhvi Kapoor called her half-sister, Anshula, and requested her to say, "Hey Karan, it's me". Anshula was unable to understand the request making Janhvi lose in that game. Trolls started targettingAnshula for the same. Janhvi has even clarified on Instagram replying to a fan comment saying, "she couldn't hear and asked me after the show got over what that phone call was about." Anshula Kapoor Shuts up a Troll who Abused Sridevi's Daughters Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor.
At #SocialForGood even Janhvi has said, "You want to protect the people in your life. Like for example my sister actually just recently got trolled on social media. She did something silly on Koffee with Karan and started getting like rape threats and stuff. And it was just weird to me."
We really hope these trolls could learn a thing or two from the very celebs they worship. Free access to internet should be treated as a responsibility, and not a free pass to say anything and get away with it.
