Sonakshi Sinha wants to stay away from all the negativity and hate that she has been receiving ever since the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Trolls targeted her and other star kids such as Alia Bhatt, Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor, and others for taking up roles fitted for more talented actors. Now, the Lootera actress has had enough and has bid farewell to Twitter. In her last tweet, Sonakshi Sinha wrote, “The first step to protecting your sanity is to stay away from negativity. And no where more of that than twitter these days! Chalo, im off - deactivating my account. Bye guys, peace out." At the time of quitting, Sonakshi Sinha had 15.9 million followers on Twitter. She often interacted directly with her fans through #SonaSays sessions.
She then shared the screengrab of the same on Instagram with a caption that said, "Aag lage basti mein... mein apni masti mein! Bye Twitter."
The 33-year-old actress also disabled the comments section on her post.
Earlier, Sonakshi Sinha has opened up on the ongoing nepotism/insider Vs outsider debate saying "The problem with wrestling with pigs is that you get dirty and the pig enjoys it. To certain people trying to garner publicity and highlight THEIR issues using the death of a member of our fraternity... PLEASE just stop,” she wrote. “Your spewing negativity, hate, and toxicity is really not required right now. Have some respect for the departed. Really", she further added.
Sonakshi is the daughter of Bollywood veteran Shatrughan Sinha and Sushant's demise has once again stirred the debate on the alleged practice of nepotism and preferential treatment towards star kids in the industry. Sonakshi, like many other star kids, has been trolled on social media even as the subject is hotly discussed.
