Ok! If you subscribe to Times of India, then you must’ve seen the full-page front ad featuring VU Televisions’ CEO, Devita Saraf welcoming Donald Trump as USA’s 45th President. In no time, it became the fresh target of the trolls.
Devita even took to Twitter to upload the image and revealed that the new Mr. President called her India’s Ivanka.

3. One swore off VU Televisions.
A very effective ad. Has convinced me to never buy #VuTelevision. And that book @DevitaSaraf is holding…so subtle. pic.twitter.com/AXOyYcnPDO

7. This guy made a sarcastic remark.
I'm guessing you don't care that @realDonaldTrump brags about sexually assaulting women. Good for you.

She even replied to a few of them.

But seeing the trolls, people came in Devita’s support, too, and tweeted how inspired and proud they were of her.
Devita got trolled, but even gave back to them in her own way.
