Farhan Akhtar is one actor who has been a silent victim of social media trolling. He often faces severe backlash due to his surname. Although the actor has achieved a feat in acting, he’s a target of online criticism. These days, like several other actors out there, Farhan has learnt to reply with befitting answers, when someone takes a dig at him or his family. In an interview now, the actor spoke about if the social media trolls affect him. Farhan Akhtar opened up about the trolls attacking his family and him.
Speaking with Bollywood Bubble, when Farhan Akhtar was asked if online trolls affect him or affect him more when they attack his family, the actor expressed how no one would be happy with their family being attacked on any platform for any reason. Answering the question, the Toofan actor, “I don’t think anybody would be happy with their family being attacked on any kind of platform for any reason. At the end of the day, if you have any issues with me, right or wrong, the issue should end with me. I don’t feel it has to pass on to anybody else. I am here for you to be able to talk to.” Farhan added, “Also, I do feel that if there is any criticism that has to come your way when it comes wrapped up in any kind of abuse, bigotry or prejudice, how can you take that seriously?”
Talking on the same, the Toofan actor said that a person revealing how hateful they are shows him how ugly they are, and especially tells him a lot about them. He continued, “At the end of the day, a person revealing how hateful they are, it shows me how ugly they are. It tells me very little about me but a lot about them.” Akhtar added, “If you want to have a conversation about something and discuss it and even maybe change my mind about something, I am more than happy for my thoughts to get changed if it's a respectable conversation. There’s a classic saying that ‘Never wrestle with a pig because you will get dirty but the pig loves it'(laughs) So that’s what it is.”
