MUMBAI: Actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee, says her fight is not only for her son joy who was targeted by trolls, but she looks forward to fight racism building a world beyond discrimination.
She said, "Being a celebrity I welcome trolls, trolling me for my work and lifestyle. I don't get affected by them. I always was aware with love I will be getting hate too. I was silent, avoiding trolls who even question my marriage. This was my choice, my human right. But still I was silent."
"My silence was taken for granted when such trolls couldn't stop themselves. And tried to target my young baby, Joy. And those trollers forget that racism is a crime. I know my son, once he will grow and understand, will be strong enough to handle such situations. Afterall, he's my son, Devoleena's son."
After publicly calling out the negativity, the actress has now taken legal action by sharing screenshots of hateful comments on her Instagram story and filing a cyber crime case.
She tells, "I'm taking a stand to fight racism. I look forward for a society without any discrimination, where we all exercise and enjoy our human rights. I believe every day, each and every one of us can stand up against racial prejudice and disrespectful attitudes. Let’s not entertain them, but let them face the consequences."
Its silly to see, how infact many Media house's came forward and supported trolls, using unnecessary headlines. Trolls may be fake, intentional. But I hope the media should understand the sensitivity of the whole matter.
"I have taken a legal root, and will make sure no one is forgiven. I will make sure that no other parents and child suffer such case in future. I'm thankful to cyber crime who's taking the matter seriously and helping me. Many accounts who trolled us are no more on social media, but still they will be traced."
