Soni Singh Was Harassed and Blackmailed by a Fan; ‘Naamkarann’ Actress Opens Up About the Incident
Former 'Bigg Boss 8' contestant Soni Singh has revealed shocking details of being harassed and threatened by a fan
With each passing day, the world of internet is becoming more of a hunting ground for trolls and harassers. Instances of cybercrime are only increasing and several women, especially actresses, have been misbehaved with and been ill-treated. Television star Soni Singh has become the latest victim of online abuse. In an interview with BollywoodLife the Bigg Boss 8 contestant has revealed shocking details of a fan who has been harassing and blackmailing her.
While speaking to the entertainment portal, Soni Singh shared her ordeal about a man named Martin who sent her vulgar messages and threatened to reveal some details about her in the public domain.
Soni said that since he seemed friendly and polite, she started talking to him, but his comments soon turned cheap. He reportedly sent her a lewd comment that read “I kiss you in your mouth” and this made a worried Soni immediately block him.
Soni told the entertainment portal, “There is a guy named Martin, who approached me on Facebook. So I thought he is a fan and exchanged pleasantries with him. I talked to him a little. He used to ask, ‘How are you friend?’ and I would reply, “I am good, friend!”. Like how I usually talk to fans. After that, he started posting weird comments like “I kiss you in your mouth”. I was worried and thought what kind of comments are these. So, I blocked him.”
Soni’s act of blocking the user reportedly upset him. As per the report, he created another account and accused her of being a racist. This resulted in her blocking him again.
“Then he messaged me on Instagram and I blocked him there as well. I have blocked him every time. He is going to tell publicly that I discriminate people based on their colour and I would have no idea what he is talking about. I took the matter very lightly. If he is going to irritate me so much then I would have to take an action against him,” she told the web portal.
We pray for the actress’ safety and can only hope this abuse is put to an end soon. Soni Singh, who has acted in several popular TV shows like Santoshi Maa, Sumit Sambhal Lega, Saraswatichandra and Naamkarann, has recently bagged a pivotal role in &TV’s Bitti Businesswali.
