Bollywood actress and former Miss Universe, Lara Dutta opened up on trolls she has been facing over ageing.
The lady has confidently dealt with age-shaming and fat-shaming comments she had received from social users.
During a recent promotional event for her web series ‘Ranneeti’, Lara confessed that she is not immune to abuse and trolling on social media and knows how to deal with it.
Responding to unwanted criticism and negativity on social media, she said: “See on a personal level, I think for me, I don’t have a massive social media presence. My social media presence… I am there but I am there as much as I want to be.”
She added, “If I am going to be hungry for followers and for comments and for things like that, then I also have to be ready to take everything that comes along with it.
“So my social media feed is really things that to me are special, that I really do want to share with people, that are genuinely following me. So, I don’t have a massive following but the ones that are there are authentically genuine people that want to be there.”

“I think I am blessed. I don’t deal with a lot of trolls or nasty comments or things like that. I mean, Of course, people will have… it’s their right to have an opinion, you know, and they will say something to you.
A lot of people say ‘arrey buddhi ho gayi (She has become old)’, ‘arrey moti ho gayi (She is now fat)’. Is it really going to make a difference in my life? It doesn’t.”
“I also know that there are anonymous people behind handles. I don’t know what someone like that is going through in their life. So, I can’t be judgemental about someone else either. It’s fine,” Dutta concluded.
