MUMBAI: Social media trolls have turned into a major issue these days, from commenting on the actor's profile for their character to getting too personal and making them question their craft. These trollers are often kids in the age brackets of 10-15 or adults with anonymous profiles of social media.

Well, it is known that the cast of Pandya Store had been affected by COVID and a few of them are still recovering while Shiny and Simran returned back to shooting. Well, now, Simran and Shiny received some terrible threats on their social media handles. Many were rape and defaming threats as these so-called fans accused them of sideling their favourite duo in the show.
Tellychakkar got in touch with Simran Budharup who received these massive threats and faced trolls, here's what she had to share, 'This isn't the first time we are getting trolled, I still remember when my character was at the little grey shade I used to get hate comments but I took that sportingly thinking that they are hating my character and not me. But now, things have gone too far and these threats turned quite personal. I even went live to confront them and sent requests to join the live feed to all the profiles that were sending these threats to Shiny and me. Most of them are kids, young teenagers who really don't know what are they speaking, they are just influenced by social media and television fandoms.'
Further talking about these fan pages she shared, 'I called them all, and then one of the girls from these pages picked up and started speaking such mean things about us, when I revealed that I shall report this, she quickly deactivated her account. These trollers really don't have a line to shut it. It is not just me, but they have done this Mohit and Akshay too, these harsh words not only makes us doubt our craft but even makes us feel worse and responsible for things we aren't even responsible for. It's high time we take an action against them and shut these trollers from going any further.'
Check out the post:
Simran took a firm decision of lodging a complaint against them, Cyberbullies need to be found and stopped, Shiny and I decided to file a complaint against these trollers and I would request them to find them and at least get me an apology on social media. This shall be a lesson for them too on how to behave on such platforms.'
We are in support of Simran, these trollers and cyberbullies need to be called out and stopped from spreading such negativity.
