Along with Sonam Kapoor disabling her comments section on Instagram, many other actors have done the same to avoid the string of negative comments being thrown their way.
The whole discussion on nepotism sparked with the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Along with facing extreme backlash over twitter, many so called ‘star kids‘ have been receiving intense hate from social media users who think that Bollywood is based on a bias with a preference towards aspiring actors who are children of already famous actors.
Sonam Kapoor, daugther of actor Anil Kapoor, openly spoke about the death threats and sickening messages she received over Twitter and Instagram which resulted in her turning off the comments feature on her Instagram page.
Actress Sonakshi Sinha, the daughter of actor Shatrughan Sinha, deleted her twitter account and disabled her Instagram comments feature herself as she too was a victim of ferocious negativity and hate.
The new solution of turning off the IG comments feature seems to be followed by actors Alia Bhatt and Ananya Pandey as well. They too, just like the former mentioned Bollywood actors have had it rough with a large audience talking about them being culprits of nepotism.
Athiya Shetty, the daughter of actor Suneil Shetty too has turned off her Instagram comments. Her latest film is the 2019 Motichoor Chaknachoor with Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
