To troll or to not troll – that’s the question almost every avid social media user faces. The veil of anonymity provides social media a psychological barrier through which they can say anything without being called out. While most celebrities steer clear on speaking about controversial topics, some take to their social media and speak their mind. In consequence they are trolled by social media users.

On October 11, it was reported that outspoken Bollywood actress raised an FIR in Delhi after some objectionable hashtags and tweets were being shared on Twitter.

Swara Bhaskar’s Recent Gripe on Aryan Khan’s Arrest

The actress in the recent days was actively speaking about the Aryan Khan drug case. In stories shared on Instagram, the actress claimed that Aryan’s arrest was part of a ‘witch hunt’. She further added that only Aryan and those near to him should worry about what happens in the matter.

“Aryan Khan is not your public elected official, responsible to you in any way for what he chooses to do in his life. He did not murder any of you or your relatives driving a jeep over them. He is not even owner of a port bringing thousands of kilograms of drugs into the country. If he is a drug snorting young man, too bad for him, his health, his dad’s reputation and wallet!! That’s it. There is a police, there is NCB and there is him and his loved ones. Nobody except that needs to be worried,” the message read.

She further added, “He is a kid for God’s sake! He did not sign a contract to be a role model for your children or society. He is not taking your taxes or votes. You can choose to follow him, his dad or unfollow them, boycott their twitter or films. But cut the kid some slack! Media today has no responsibility, it will show on loop what you consume. So say no to nonsense, atleast where it is so so juvenile and demeaning to your commonsense.”

Swara also spoke about media’s coverage of the Lakhimpur violence which happened on the same day as Aryan Khan’s arrest. “Ministers son who willfully mowed 4 people to death (evidence caught on video) is chilling at his home, while @iamsrk’s son #AryanKhan is in jail for smoking hash. Apparently in #NewIndia brutal murder is more acceptable than smoking a joint!”, her tweet read.

Earlier this year, during the Israel-Palestine conflict, Swara once again became the fodder of trolls. The actress stood in support of Palestine and labelled Israel as “terrorist state”.
