Is trolling becoming a passion in India?



Filmfare would have never thought that they would be on the receiving end of such a troll. After posting a photograph of an actress in the swimming pool, the leading Bollywood Magazine's Twitter account asked the fans to guess who the person in the image happened to be?

The users took a jibe at the image and came up with various and hilarious tweets about the image. The reason I call them hilarious is that fans would take nothing too unkindly. They decided to poke fun at Filmfare, and here are some notable responses:



 While some were good enough in providing clear information and stated the image was of Athiya Shetty.



The actress has not been in many movies, but this experience would have baffled her.

While it was considered funny by many, the fact that everyone has a personal life, and people on Twitter should continue to respect that. As a user, it doesn't sound fun (or even pun) when you take a jibe at someone for your own pleasure.

As a celebrity, they are prone to such attacks but let's face it, everyone has their own space, and if you can't value the people that have stature, don't try to showcase your small thinking by doing acts that are pathetic by all means.

It may sound fun to some, and while some others may not like it, don't take the freedom of expression as the freedom of stupidity. As individuals, it becomes our responsibility to understand and respond to things, but this is completely uncalled for.

Why every subject based movie like 'Ram Ki Janmabhoomi' is opposed in India?

Image
'Ram Janmbhoomi' is a movie slated for release on the 29th of March, and even before the movie could see rhe light of the day, controversies surrounding the movie have started to show up. Recently a fatwa against the movie was issued, and the fact that people decided to issue a fatwa without knowing the facts confirms two things, one that people are ready to believe into controversy, and second that they don't get to the facts, and believe in hyping things without value. I recently had the opportunity to speak to a reliable source who has been associated with it in various ways, namely actor in a supporting and various backstage roles, noted that the movie is based on a discussion and the representation of the characters doesn't hurt the sentiments of anyone, instead it initiates a conversation, which is the essence of a country where people can discuss and talk about issues. After the discussion, I was left to ponder over the fact that we have been so loosene
