Sonakshi Sinha Responds With A Video After Quitting Twitter: ‘There’s Only One Winner Here, Me’

The sad demise of actor Sushant Singh Rajput had sparked a debate on mental health and nepotism in Bollywood. And as a result, several celebrities, star kids and popular filmmakers had to bear the brunt of the angered citizens. ‘Dabangg’ actor Sonakshi Sinha was also brutally trolled and bullied on social media.

But when Sonakshi thought that it was going too far, she decided to cut-off the tension by taking away the access people had to her.

The actor bid adieu to her 16 million Twitter followers and deactivated her account last weekend, reported News18.  Sharing a screengrab of her last tweet on Instagram, she wrote:

She had also disabled all comments on her Instagram post. And two days after going off Twitter, the actor took to Instagram and shared how there’s only one winner and that’s her, reports Hindustan Times. Sharing how she got off Twitter and away from the negativity, she wrote:

How i got myself off twitter and away from the negativity 😂 Some people are celebrating like they won something… im happy for you, tumhe laga raha hai na… lagne do, kisi ko koi farak nahi padh raha. But lets face it, ive cut the direct source of insult and abuse in my life. Ive taken away YOUR power to be able to say whatever it is that you want to me, my family and my friends. Ive taken away that access you had to me, that i had given you so trustingly. So theres only one winner here. Me. Your negativity has never served me or my life, which is why it literally took a snap of a finger to get rid of a following of 16 million people which ive garnered over the last ten years. Just like that. And im better off for it. I wish all those haters and trolls lots of love and healing, or you can continue with the hate but please know it’ll NEVER reach me. Accha ab yeh chakkar mein i know the people who love me are caught up too… please know that your love and support is what has kept me going all this while, and it always will! And I request you all to keep spreading that love and light wherever you go and to as many people as you can. Because Love is the answer. Always ❤️

But in the bid to eradicate negativity from her life, she had also cut herself from her fans and well-wishers. Urging them to keep spreading love and light, the ‘shotgun junior’ said in her post, “Accha ab yeh chakkar mein (Now, in this business) I know the people who love me are caught up too… please know that your love and support is what has kept me going all this while, and it always will!”

“And I request you all to keep spreading that love and light wherever you go and to as many people as you can. Because Love is the answer. Always.”

It’s interesting to ponder over the fact that Sonakshi’s celebrity status is created by none other than her fans; regular people on Instagram and Twitter. Cutting herself off from everyone in a bid to escape a few could restrict her own influence. What do you think of her extreme step?
