Social media has often been ruthless to people and more to the celebs. Being a public figure makes them more vulnerable to the harsh comments by the anonymous people and fans. The recent example of this is Arjun Kapoor's sister Anshula Kapoor, as told by Janhvi Kapoor at an collaborated event by Facebook and #SocialForGood Live-Athon. Anshula got rape threats on the social media for something that happened on Karan Johar's chat show Koffee With Karan 6 and the reason is really bizarre, alarming and uncalled for. Janhvi Kapoor's Pink Chequered Mini Dress Makes Us Want to Steal Her Look!.
It all started with a fun calling game in KWK 6 where Janhvi was invited along with her brother Arjun Kapoor. There was a segment where she had to call Anshula up and ask her to help her win the hamper. However, Anshula goofed up and could not help her, ultimately the hamper making its way to the Ishaqzaade actor. This silly incident eventually got people trolling Anshula return on the social media, along with rape threats!
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...

The Dhadak actress was quoted saying, "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." The event was also attended by Priyanka Chopra who talked about the cause and awarness of social media in the conference. Coming back to this sickening norm of the trolls, we really feel, there should be strict and permanent action against these accounts and creators of these accounts for once and all!
