While social media connects celebrities with their fans, there’s also a lot of negativity and trolls that they have to face. From the past few weeks, after Sushant Singh Rajput’s demise, a lot of celebs like Karan Johar, Alia Bhatt, Sonam Kapoor, and others have been facing a lot of trolls on social media.

A few days ago, Alia Bhatt and Shaheen Bhatt took to their social media platforms to call out trollers who had sent hurtful messages to the latter, abusing the entire Bhatt family. Even Sushant Singh Rajput’s girlfriend, Rhea Chakraborty, faced a lot of abuses on Instagram and she complained about it to the cyber cell.

I was called a gold digger ..I kept quiet I was called a murderer ….I kept quiet I was slut shamed ….I kept quiet But how does my silence give you the right to tell me that you will get me RAPED and MURDERED if I don’t commit suicide @mannu_raaut ? Do you realize the seriousness of what you have said? These are crimes, and by law no one, I repeat NO ONE should be subjected to this kind of toxicity and harassment . I request @cyber_crime_helpline @cybercrimeindia to please take necessary action . ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

Well now, it is said that Karan Johar is also planning to take legal action against the trolls. A source close to the filmmaker said, “Karan is actively pursuing legal action. A team of lawyers, as well as online tech experts, have come together to see this through. The tech people in the team are tracking the social media handles that are trying to intimidate him through violence. They want to unearth these accounts, fake and real, and submit the evidence to the relevant authorities. The comments got out of hand when people started to threaten physical harm and abuse to his children and gave rape threats against his mother.”

Well, clearly looks like Bollywood celebs are in no mood to take cyber-bullying anymore.
