Actress Tinaa Dattaa

has quite often been the target of

trolls

on

social media

. They have repeatedly commented on her choice of clothes, her pictures and her freedom of speech. Initially, Tinaa did get affected, but now, she has learnt to take it in her stride. She says, “At first, I would get very upset with nasty comments and they would affect me a lot. I would wonder why they were being so mean to me. When I go live on Instagram and do yoga, there are some people who are so grossed out in their head, that they would put out dirty comments on the video, while I am live. Now, with age and experience, I have realised that these people don’t matter to me, they are not worth my attention, they have no right to affect my sanity and peace of mind, so I don’t need to pay heed to them.”

Speaking of how she tackles trolls now, Tinaa says, “I report the really nasty comments to the cyber cops and make it a point that they reach those trolls/bullies and they apologise. Or I straightaway report and block nasty comments that I happen to see. I don’t need any sort of negativity in my life, be it through people or comments.”

She further adds, “I feel sad for these trolls and their upbringing. Had they been brought up well, or schooled well, maybe they wouldn’t speak in such a manner. Cyber cops should become more strict and prompt in their action towards cyberbullying. It’s high time we put an end to this.”
