MUMBAI : MTV Splitsvilla X2 had an amazing run.
Contestant Piyush Sharma might not have won the show but has certainly captivated the hearts of the audience. Piyush had a remarkable journey in the show and was one of the most talked about contestants, courtesy to his tiffs with several other contestants. Piyush did receive a lot of love and adulation from the fans, but a section of people has started posting intolerable hate messages to him lately.

TellyChakkar connected with Piyush to know more about the same, he said, “I know that popularity is a double-edged sword and with a lot of love comes criticism as well, and I’m very much open to it. I’ve always maintained that criticism is a very important factor in a person’s life, it motivates you to get better and I always took criticism sportingly. However, recently, I’ve noticed some outrageous comments and hate messages addressed to me. I’ve been called names, abused and what not. But that’s not it. I have read people cursing me to die. Some literally low-level comments on my girlfriend which I can’t even talk about and also there are a few people attacking my pet Sky and wishing he dies. I mean, can you even imagine? So much hate and for what? A reality show which has ended long back? How can people curse death upon you? Where's humanity?"
We asked him about any actions that he took against the trolls, he said, “I’ve approached the cyber-cell and they’ve assured me that they will track down the people who’ve commented outrageous stuff on my accounts. A few instances have also made me believe that the trolls know my weaklinks and they’re attacking it. Like, they know that I wouldn’t take anything said to my pet and my girlfriend lying down. I have a strong doubt that my fellow colleagues from the show are behind this conspiracy of making me feel demotivated with such trolls. I recently went LIVE on Instagram and spoke about filing a complaint against the people sending outrageous comments to me and guess what happened post that? A few of those people deactivated their accounts. I’m waiting for the cyber-bullying officials to get back to me."
