Whether we admit it or not, there is no denying that movies have a big impact on our lives and on our society. If you don’t believe me, I have enough examples of Bollywood romanticising stalking as something the hero uses to get the heroine to fall in love with him and she does! This romanticising has had grave implications as jilted lovers do not know how to take ‘No’ for an answer.
In addition to this, people have the tendency to merge reel life with real life comparing celebrities to the characters they play on screen, and Adah Sharma of 1920 fame was the latest target for trolls on the internet when she refused to kiss a fan.

Yup you heard that right! Apparently, we are still alien to the concept of consent.
According to a report in Midday, a fan thought it was okay for him to ask Adah for a kiss on his cheek when she was interacting with online fans. When she refused he cited examples of her kissing in her films and asked her what was the harm if she kisses him.
In addition to that, netizens started trolling her for refusing to kiss a fan calling her a hypocrite.
प्रभु, अगले जनम मोहे बिटिया ही कीजो…क्योंकि लड़कों को तो @adah_sharma प्यार से रिक्वेस्ट करने पर छोटा सा किस भी नहीं देती…विश की तो उम्मीद ही नहीं करनी चाहिए! मुझे लगता था मैं अदा का बहुत बड़ा 'फैन' हूं, अब एहसास हो रहा है कि मैं 'ब्वाय फैन' हूं!🙃 Fan but a boy @ipsuvedi !😐 https://t.co/Omrxs1ojai

Hi @adah_sharma mam, could you please read this funny thing…😀
"Today is my birthday."🤣😜
Now it feels like joke as u dont like boys and I am a boy no matter how big and old fan I am. Anyway, thank u for ur SILENT and INVISIBLE wish…☺🙏🙏 https://t.co/x482OMOR13— I. P. SUVEDI (@ipsuvedi) December 4, 2017
This did not go down well with Adah and she took to Twitter to express her anger at the outrageous request as well as her comparison to her roles.
I have never had a twitter outburst in the 3 yrs that I've been on twitter but accusations of "being insulted" for not being given a "HARMLESS KISS" have provoked me. I speak for a lot of girls here when I say the following …

1. She hit the nail right on the head!
A kiss for me isn't harmless!You say "what's the big deal" well who are u to decide what deal is big and small for me?Deals aside,I want to choose who I exchange saliva with or whose cheeks/other parts I plant my lips on! Or who I want to make eye contact with too.(Male/female)

2. That sounds appropriate for someone who can’t take ‘No’ for an answer.
If a boy meets me for the first time and asks me for a KISS on whichever part of his anatomy, REPEATEDLY he would at most times get punched,slapped or kicked in his groin. If your penis is intact consider yourself lucky because my kicks are precise and lethal.

3. I agree with her on this because celebrities are expected to always be cordial with “fans” no matter how horrible they may be.
I might expose my knees and elbows and OMG! I showed off my spine and my shoulders too! But that doesn't mean I'm expected to have any physical contact with any human under complultion.(Physical contact could even be handshakes btw.)

4. Are you listening over-enthusiastic fan?
Bhavana Reddy kissed in a public place in Commando2, Hayaati had a 1 hr 45 minute kiss in Heartattack but I'm Adah Sharma am NOT THEM!!!i'm happy my performances convince you that I am these people but the real me reacts,dresses,breathes,lives differently

5. It was NOT male-bashing.
P.s. I love boys, men and i have nothing against the male gender of all species.I have some wonderful men in my life my dad, grandad,friends,directors, actors I've worked with.This isn't an anti men thing 🙂

6. Yet, some trolls just do not learn and the accusations refused to stop.
Great @adah_sharma Did you tell the same to @purijagan when he narrated you the same scene in your debut film Heart Attack? Just asking!

7. To this, Adah chose to give a sassy reply and that should be enough to teach trolls not to mess with the wrong person.
Didn't need to.because when he asks me for a kiss in Heartattack I slap him. We kiss only when I choose to go to the venue and kiss him.but since Ur connecting movie characters to real life… I was possessed in 1920 and I killed people at night..just saying!:) https://t.co/l4510PL3tW

Celebrities are under public scrutiny all the time and they are expected not to lash out even when they are subjected to inappropriate requests by fans. Does consent not apply to them just because they are public figures?
