Janhvi Kapoor
Actress Janhvi Kapoor is no stranger to online trolling. However, she has largely taken it sportingly and has occasionally given it back as well. Recently, the actress addressed online bullying and harassment, explaining how trolling sometimes crosses the line and becomes insensitive. She also spoke about how her brother, actor Arjun Kapoor, has been facing constant trolling, which she feels is unjustified.
In a conversation with Grazia, Janhvi said that celebrities like her often become subjects of trolling. She believes that social media users engage in it largely for views and virality rather than genuine hatred toward the targeted person.
