Celebs who quit social media after public trolling

Aamir Khan left social media in 2021, shortly after his birthday. Though he claimed it was to focus on his work, industry insiders believe the increasing scrutiny around his personal life and professional decisions played a role in his exit. Aamir remains notoriously private, and staying away from social media helps him maintain that image.

Talaash and Dangal actress Fatima Sana Shaikh has taken multiple breaks from social media following unnecessary trolling about her photos and lifestyle choices. Her decision reflects a growing trend among young stars who prioritize mental health over virtual presence.

In 2020, Sonakshi Sinha deactivated her Twitter account after facing constant trolling. The Dabangg actress said she was tired of the negativity and chose mental peace over digital popularity. “The first step to protecting your sanity is to stay away from negativity,” she had shared.

Actor Saqib Saleem also left Twitter, expressing that he had had enough of the "abusive" and "toxic" environment. He made a strong statement about choosing kindness over hate, encouraging fans to spread love instead of venom.

Former actress Zaira Wasim, best known for Dangal and Secret Superstar, permanently quit the film industry and social media in 2019. She said she was not at peace with the path she was on and chose to walk away from both the limelight and the internet.
