Sushmita Sen stated that she received hatred from `nameless people on social media` following the release of the first look poster of her forthcoming series `Taali`. The star said in a recent interview with News18 that she blocked all of them. Sushmita will play transgender activist Shreegauri Sawant in the web series. Last year, Sushmita took to Instagram to reveal the first look of Taali.

Now, in an interview with News18, the actress revealed, "The first poster of Taali that I had released had half my face and the clap. I remember that in the comment section, there were lots of nameless people, as social media is full of them, writing ‘chhakka’ repeatedly. I thought, how can they do that to me? I took it very personally because it was happening on my timeline. I, of course, blocked all of them. But it hit me that if that’s how it’s making me feel when I’m only portraying Gauri Sawant’s life, they’re living with it every breathing moment of their life."
