Trolling and cyber-bullying are few of the perils that the advent of technology and the boom of social media has brought to our doors. And unfortunately, it doesn’t stop there. It travels, it creeps into your psyche leaving you in a pit of rage and hate.
And, I’m sure you know this, the at-the-rating goes to another level when a public figure is involved. When a celebrity tries to opine on something that the troll waggon can’t digest.
Something similar happened when famous actress, Renuka Shahane took to Twitter to express her angst and grief about the Amarnath pilgrims who lost their lives to a terrorist attack.
What horrible news about Amarnath yatris & policemen killed by militants. Feeling really sad for the loss of innocent lives. #StopThisHate 😡

Needless to say, hate-mongers jumped at the opportunity to expose themselves. Renuka later took a screenshot of the same and posted it on her FB page.
But wait, there is a twist in the tale!
Now, after Renuka put her foot down, the mud-slinger is crying foul-play, stating that it was not him rather his friend who did this from his phone.
Not just that, he has, in fact, deleted his account, deleting the venom he spew at Renuka’s post.
This is the only way, guys! The next time someone decides to bully you for being you, don’t take it lying down. Brush the dirt and stand up, stronger. Thank you for the cue, Renuka Shahane!
