The 33-year-old actor also posted a video where she talks about how people are subjected to trolling through fake accounts and their pictures are misused.

She said people often hide behind their computer screens and abuse others on social media.

"Many people have fallen victims to such trolls. I'm one of them. But I have decided - Ab bas (now is enough). Now there will be a full stop to cyber bullying and online trolling," Sonakshi said.

She added that as part of the initiative, they will be talking with experts on the issues of cyber bullying, online trolling, cyber laws, and mental harassment.
