Rhea Chakraborty, who shot to fame with Half Girlfriend has suddenly found herself amidst a huge social media storm with trolls targeting her for ‘intimate’ photos with filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt.
This all started last week when Rhea posted a series of photos to wish Mahesh Bhatt on his 70th birthday. She wrote, “Happy birthday to my Buddha @maheshfilm. Sir , this is us – you held me with love , you showed me love , and you have unclipped my wings forever , you are the “heart hitting ” fire that ignites every soul it comes by ! Words fail me I love you.”
Her photos with Bhatt showed both of him fondly hugging each other, triggering a wave of protests from social media users with many suspecting both of them in a relationship. While, there were some, who felt that it was inappropriate for Bhatt to allegedly exploit a young actress.
One asked, “Yeh baap beti wala pyr h kya paap wala (Is it the love of a father-daughter or borne out of sinful desire?)” Another follower commented, “We all know everything about Bollywood so nobody has to explain what’s going on. I think we shouldn’t waste our time on such issues coz we already have many important issues in our country that need our attention and time.” There were many other vile comments that can’t be reproduced here.
Rhea took to Instagram to respond to her trolls with the following message; “तू कौन हैं , तेरा नाम हैं क्या ? सीता भी यहाँ बदनाम हुई !” “Tu kaun hain , Tera naam hain kya ? Seeta bhi yahaan badnaam hui !” If the trolls can hurl muck and filth of their minds , which comes out of their depraved souls , then all our claims of having moved away from the dark ages are bogus . Hey guys , don’t you know you see the world AS YOU ARE , not AS IT IS ! Ps”
But this did not helped her contain the social media storm as her critics were enraged even further. Rhea will be next seen in Jalebi.
