Bollywood actress Radhika Apte posted a picture on her Instagram handle a couple of weeks back where she is seen wearing a bikini.
You know people can be really shallow on the internet. On social media, people can freely slut-shame or troll anyone and absolutely everyone and easily get away with it. The latest actress to have fallen prey to social media trolls is Bollywood actress Radhika Apte who posted a picture on her Instagram handle a couple of weeks back where she is seen wearing a bikini. The PadMan actress was enjoying her time with friends sunkissed on a beach in Goa and shared a few pictures of the same. As soon as she posted the picture, some netizens started trolling her on the social media site accusing her of going against 'Indian culture'.
Now, giving a befitting reply to trolls, Radhika was recently quoted telling a leading daily, "I didn't even know I was being trolled till someone told me. It's ridiculous! Do people expect me to wear a sari on a beach?" When asked how Radhika deals with trolls otherwise, she said, "I don't know them, so I don't deal with them.”
Radhika is not the only actress to have been trolled on social media. Right from Sonam Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha, Parineeti Chopra to Anushka Sharma, Vidya Balan and Janhvi Kapoor – several celebrities have fallen prey to trolls.
On the work front, Radhika is gearing up for the release of Baazaar starring Saif Ali Khan. She is also simultaneously shooting for Shriram Raghavan's film tentatively titled 'Shoot The Piano Player'.
