Gauahar Khan losses her cool on social media
Social media always continues to act as a double-edged sword. While the perks of being on the platform are certainly great, the disadvantages are equally dangerous. Amidst all this, some people lashed out at Sonam Kapoor, too, for some reasons, owing to which Sonam decided to quit Twitter. People bashed this move even more, and it seems Gauahar Khan has also lost her cool on the saga.
Social media has become a court of sorts! Where ppl don’t even wait for a trial, proof, or verdicts ! Few Journos just report what they want, mostly one sided ,few ppl jump on the train to bash others for their vested interests (but ask others what right did they have to judge)
