Pakistani actress Mawra Hocane gracefully and sensibly confronted a troll from India on social media. An Indian user asked her views on the Pulawama attack adding that she would definitely not answer to it.
Mawra gently responded to the question and stated “You assumed what I would do before I did it so first things first stop judging. 2: humanity first. Every life lost is a human life lost. It’s heartbreaking!!!! Praying for sabr & more love on this side of the world. 3: stop the hate just in case someone isn’t expressive.”

The extremism had taken a toll in India to the point where the Bollywood celebrities are found to be bashing their own people for reporting serious crimes. Bollywood actor Anupam Kher, the proponent of right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party, has slammed India’s top journalist Barkha Dutt for raising the issues of personal harassment at a time when entire India is mourning the death of 44 soldiers in Pulwama terror attack.
I notice some people are trying to make their personal harassment on social media bigger than the tragedy of our #Phulwama brave hearts. Please don’t get fooled by these usual suspects. They r trying to deviate us. They don’t want us to come together even in our national grief. pic.twitter.com/AZ1uM5iijK
