Online trolling has taken over the better side of social media, making it a gloomy space for most. And when it comes to celebrities, what exactly inspires such trolls is hard to guess. From outfits to their personal life, everything comes under scrutiny and is made fun of. Uday Chopra has been constantly targeted for sharing his thoughts online. And today, on Social Media Day, the Dhoom actor had a special message for all Internet trolls.
“I will say this… trolls are people too, they have a job to do and it’s ok. We all have to make a living, but if you are a troll I think it’s best if you accept it and wear that badge honourably,” he wrote on Saturday. It was in response to his earlier tweet where he suggested identifying trolls by verifying them with a separate ‘red tick’. He said this would ensure people do not feel bad as the comments are from a “verified troll”.

In a sarcastic tweet, Chopra asked for people’s thought about a red tick on Twitter to identify trolls. “I feel @Twitter should start new verified accounts for trolls. If u are a verified troll u get a red check mark on ur profile. This will create harmony in the troll community as trolls will have something to work towards and non trolls will at least know who a troll is. Thoughts?” he said.
This will also further benefit normal users because getting trolled by a verified troll will carry less psychological weight; as one will feel, that since it’s a verified troll trolling me, it’s not so bad. @Twitter

Amusing that your tweets make a lot of sense,your movies not so much #notatroll

I totally agree with what Uday Chopra saying about trolls. There is no achievement in making fun of someone’s profession, living, look or inability. Only to gain followers. We all carry our baggage of inability, despair and loss.

Ha ha ha! Uday, you are brilliant at it :)
Nice to see Bollywood with spine. The two are usually not found together.— Sandeep Manudhane (@sandeep_PT) June 30, 2018
Can’t agree more

Totally agree… no one has the right to troll.. also these kind of ppl have no confidence so do it by hiding behind something! Stand together to stop trolling …
