After her catchphrase “thappad se darr nahi lagta,” Sonakshi Sinha became synonymous with the Dabangg girl. Sonakshi not only displayed her Dabangg side on-screen but also off-screen. As Sonakshi turns 35 today, let’s look back at the times she slew trolls with appropriate responses. Sonakshi didn’t hesitate to deactivate her Twitter account, which had around 16 million followers. Your negativity has never served me or my life, which is why it took the snap of a finger to get rid of a 16 million-person following I’d built up over the last ten years. Exactly like that. And I’m all the better for it, she wrote on Instagram.
Trolls targeted Sonakshi for failing to donate during the Covid crisis. A minute of silence for trolls who believe that because it wasn’t announced, no contributions were made. Suna toh hoga neki kar dariya mein daal? Kuch log in fact follow karte hai! “Ab shaant ho jao & use ur time 2 do some actual good (announcement or not is a personal preference),” she tweeted.
The journey from 95 kg to today has not been easy for Sonakshi. She was frequently body-shamed because of her weight. Let’s address the elephant in the room! I’ve been trolled for years because of my weight. I’ve never felt the need to respond because I’ve always thought of myself as #BiggerThanThem… pun intended. But then I wondered if they were still at it after losing 30 kgs. That’s when I said, “Fuck them.” Because Sonakshi Sinha has a reason for being here. I made it exactly how I wanted it, and I have nothing to hide! Not my curves, not my weight, and certainly not my image. I am not a number on a scale, and that is why I am larger than them…pun intended.”
Sonakshi read out loud the hateful comments on her posts during an interview. One user commented, “Sonakshi is Salman Khan’s biggest chamchi (hanger-on).” Sonakshi responded, “Yeah, but he gave me my first film.” Hu main. (I am.) Kya karloge What will you do)?” Sonakshi was unable to respond to a Ramayan-related KBC question. During her AMA, one user jokingly asked, “Sanjivani booty kaun laya tha?” She responded, “Many of you have Ramayan-related questions; please watch it on Doordarshan and you will get all your answers.” “Bajrang Bali!”
