Actress Zareen Khan says she is glad that her mother is not
on social media as she will get disturbed with the way she (Zareen) gets
trolled.
"Trolls don't realise that whatever they write not only affects
us but also affects our family and friends. I am very thankful for the fact that
my mother is not on social media because such bad and abusive comments would
definitely disturb her," Zareen said in a statement.
Zareen has been a
victim of trolls on social media platforms. She approached MTV to be a part of
their new show "MTV Troll Police" after watching an episode with actress Taapsee
Pannu.
"I have seen Taapsee's 'MTV Troll Police' episode. I feel this is
a great initiative and a great thing that MTV has come up with to help people
who are targeted without any reason. There is a certain section of people in our
society who hide behind the anonymity of Internet and troll people like me,"
said Zareen, who made her Bollywood debut with "Veer".
"Such kind of
people are a threat to either themselves or the entire society because they do
not realise how their actions affect others. That's the reason I have come on
'MTV Troll Police'. I want to know if my biggest trolls have the courage to face
me and say the same things on my face," she added.
On her biggest troll,
she said: "I am surprised to see my biggest troll. He is just 23 years old. The
world is his oyster now... He should concentrate on his life but instead what he
is doing is criminal level trolling. I feel sorry for him."
She has a
subtle warning for all trolls.
"In the world of social media no one can
hide. The power of social media is so strong that you will be tracked."
