Donal Bisht on being trolled for her bikini pictures: My choice of clothes is no one’s business
One big price of being a celebrity that many have to pay is social media trolling. And many celebs have been constantly raising concern around how toxic the online space is getting every day. Donal Bisht recently went through a similar phase. The Ek Deewaana Tha actor shares that the bikini photos she posted sometime back have been subjected to insensitive comments which prompted her to post her point of view in her latest Instagram story. “Clothes can’t explain a woman’s character! Never judge a woman by her clothes! Judge her by her heart,” she wrote.
Talking about the incident, the actor says, “My choice of clothes is no one’s business. And writing obscene comments on bikini pictures is nothing but a reflection of the pitiful mindset the trolls hold. Women should be allowed to wear what they want without being judged… And I’m not the first person on the planet who wore a bikini! Why make a big deal about it?”
While the actor tries to stay away from the toxicity, it does at times, get to her and also her family. “My mother gets upset at times and even asks me to take down a particular picture after it gets ‘not-very-good’ comments,” she adds.
On how she personally wades through this negativity, Bisht, 24, says, “I try and focus on the brighter side of life. But in this case, if things don’t change, I plan to consult the cyber crime cell. If one hasn’t done anything wrong then it should not bother them anyway.”
