Salman Khan, Dia Mirza, Swara Bhasker - FIVE celebs who gave it back to trolls in 2021

Bollywood celebrities often interact with fans on social media. And beyond the appreciation, the Instagram and Twitter icons also face a whole lot of flak. Not the ones to let it go, celebrities hit back at trolls like a boss. Salman Khan to Dia Mirza and Swara Bhasker - Here’s taking a look at five Bollywod actors who clapped back at trolls in 2021.

It is a known fact that Richa Chadha and Ali Fazal are eagerly waiting to get married. Commenting on their relationship a Twitter user predicted that Richa and Alia’s wedding will end in divorce just like Bollywood actor Aamir Khan. A netizen wrote in Hindi, “When are you getting divorced? Tell us. Because your marriage is not going to last long, just like Aamir Khan's.” Reacting to the troll, Richa penned a lengthy note in Hindi which translated as, “Sarvesh, forget about me, are you losing your mind because no one married you willingly? In your case, it must have been the girl who asked for dowry. Neither do you have looks or intelligence and you are also poor? Your mother must have switched from LPG to an earthen stove. My regards to you, aunty. What kind of devil person have you brought into this world? This unemployed, pitiable person can dare to speak only here."

Earlier this year, Dia Mirza faced a lot of trolling after she announced her pregnancy, a couple of months after her wedding in February. A netizen questioned why the actress didn’t announce her pregnancy before the wedding and break stereotypes, the way she did with a female priest officiating her wedding. Replying to the Instagram user, Dia Mirza explained, “Interesting question. Firstly, we didn’t marry because we were having a baby together. We were already marrying as we wanted to spend our lives together. We discovered we were going to have a baby while we were planning our wedding. So this marriage is not the result of pregnancy. We didn’t announce the pregnancy until we knew its safe (medical reasons). This is the happiest news of my life. I’ve waited for many many years for this to happen. No way I would hide it for any reason other than medical.” She also listed several reasons as to why she decided to respond to the user.

All through lockdown, Salman Khan stayed at his Panvel farmhouse and gave fans a glimpse of his life there. On a chat show, Arbaaz informed Salman that a netizen had called his Panvel farmhouse a 'ayashi ka adda'. Strongly replying to the user, Salman stated, "Inhone mere post mei aisa kya dekh liya ke inko ye jagah ayashi ka adda laga. Throughout lockdown, mere jitne bhi post aye hai ya toh workout karte hue aye honge ya kheti karte hue aye honge. Aur iska toh koi chance he nahi hai kyuki humare father hum dono ko goli maar denge." (What did he see in my post that they called it 'ayashi ka adda'? Throughout lockdown, I only shared pictures of myself working out or farming at the farmhouse. And, this is not possible because our father will kill us both).

Swara Bhasker is an avid social media user and she faces a lot of trolling on Twitter. In November this year, the actress had shared a casual click on Twitter, on which a troll had commented, “My maid looks much better then you in saree. Much graceful then you.” Slamming the user, Swara replies, “I’m sure your your household help is beautiful. I hope you respect her labour and her dignity & don’t act like a creep with her.”

Earlier this year Priyanka hit headlines for her polka-dot ball dress. Her funky, exaggerated dress had the internet in splits and the actress sportingly enjoyed the memes too. However, when a netizen commented about her ‘figure’, Priyanka was not the one to let it go. A Twitter user commented on her picture, "Are you serious ma’am is that a dress than what’s the point to have good figure." Priyanka wrote, "The fact that a 'figure' doesn’t matter, that’s the point" with a fist and an exploding head emoji.
