A day after Sonakshi Sinha deactivated her Twitter account citing ‘negativity’, she has responded to trolls who see this as their victory. In a message shared on Instagram, she said she has cut the direct source of insult and abuse in her life.
“Some people are celebrating like they won something... im happy for you, tumhe laga raha hai na... lagne do, kisi ko koi farak nahi padh raha. But lets face it, ive cut the direct source of insult and abuse in my life,” she wrote on Instagram.
She further added: “Ive taken away YOUR power to be able to say whatever it is that you want to me, my family and my friends. Ive taken away that access you had to me, that i had given you so trustingly. So theres only one winner here. Me (sic).”
Sonakshi Sinha announced on Saturday that she was deactivating her Twitter account. "The first step to protecting your sanity is to stay away from negativity. And nowhere more of that than twitter these days! Chalo, I'm off - deactivating my account. Bye guys, peace out," read Sonakshi's farewell tweet, a screenshot of which she posted on her Instagram profile and wrote, "Aag lage basti mein... mein apni masti mein! Bye Twitter."
Talking about her Twitter exit ‘by the snap of a finger’, she said: “Our negativity has never served me or my life, which is why it literally took a snap of a finger to get rid of a following of 16 million people which ive garnered over the last ten years. Just like that. And im better off for it. I wish all those haters and trolls lots of love and healing, or you can continue with the hate but please know it’ll NEVER reach me (sic).”
Sonakshi was one of the many star kids who was caught in the wave of negative comments and trolls in the wake of Sushant Singh’s death.
Even before, she has been at the receiving end of much trolling, including being ridiculed for not knowing the answer to a Ramayan-related question on Kaun Banega Crorepati last year.
