In today’s digital age, celebrities are no stranger to online trolling and hatred. However, sometimes things are not light-hearted and they might get deep and personal. For instance, comedian Kapil Sharma recently slammed a troll as the person took a drug-related jibe at him.

The incident occurred when a twitter user made a reference to the Narcotics Control Bureau’s arrest of his co-star, comedian Bharti Singh, and her writer husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa in a drug case, reports HT. The troll mentioned how Kapil too might be arrested next for the same reasons.
The user tweeted, “Bharti ka kya haal hua? Tb jb tk pkdi nai gyi ..drugs nai leti thi.. Wo hi haal aapka h shayad jb tk pakde nai jao..no drugs (What happened to Bharti? Until she got caught, she said she did not take any drugs. I think it is the same case with you. Until you get caught, you say ‘no drugs’)”
An apparently angry Kapil wrote back in a now-deleted tweet, “Pehle apne size ki shirt silwa mote (Fatty, first get yourself a shirt that fits).” The comedian eventually deleted his tweet after receiving backlash online saying it was insensitive of him to body-shame someone like that.

According to TOI, Bharti and Haarsh have now been granted bail in the drug consumption case. Well, while it’s okay to reply to trolls, taking personal shots like body-shaming is not acceptable. What do you think of this incident? Tell us.
