Today, anyone with a smartphone and social media account can easily ping their favourite celebrities and if you are fortunate enough, you might end up having a conversation with them. Although it looks inclusive enough, it has also encouraged full-time trolls who grab any opportunity to pull anyone down. Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli faced flak from netizens recently after he posted a topless picture.
The Indian skipper with more than 31 million followers tweeted his picture with a philosophical message that caused it to go viral. He captioned it, “As long as we look within, we won’t need to seek anything outside.”

That was the cue for trolls who bashed him for posting a philosophical quote and sharing a semi-nude positive message for his followers. Here’s how his harmless post sparked a meme fest:

Well, there are several perils of being the talk of the town. Earning a permanent spot on the radar of trollers and haters is one of them. What do you think of Virat’s post?
