Taapsee Pannu has established herself as a fine actor over the years with her intriguing film choices and performances. However, she has often been trolled on social media when she has expressed her views and opinions. In an interview recently, she talked about how she reacts to the online hate and how her family responds to it.


Talking to SpotBoyE, she said, “Social media gives everyone a certain power which not everyone is equipped to handle sensibly. A lot of them use it the wrong way. Since it’s a free country anyone can say anything, and the limits of how far one can go are not specified.”


She added, “But I guess it’s human to get provoked. Most of the time I don’t allow myself to get provoked. The alarming thing is, there’s so much of the toxicity, one just gets used to it and immune to. I don’t know whom it’s more unfortunate for that I’ve gotten so used to the toxicity that it doesn’t affect me any more.”


Calling it a social media circus, this is what the Manmarziyaan actress had to say, “I just feel like laughing sometimes at the whole circus. But then it is so sad and strange that people have so much bitterness in them and they are living with the bitterness all the time.”

She also went on to talk about her family and how the trolls that target her affect them as well. “It does affect them because they are not part of the entertainment industry. They are not used to it. But it's a part of my life and they will have to get used to it. I have had conversations with my family on this matter,” Pannu said.
