Social media has become an integral part of celebrity life, but for many actresses, it has also turned into a platform for trolling, abuse, body shaming and deep fake content. However, instead of suffering in silence, several actresses are now choosing to confront online harassment, take a break from digital platforms or seek legal action against those responsible.
Actress Payal Rajput, known for films such as RX 100, recently reacted strongly to people circulating her videos and making vulgar comments about her body. Taking to X, the actress expressed her anger and called out those targeting her appearance.
“Shame on you people. My body, my size, and my pride. It’s not up for your debate, your opinions, or your vulgarity,” Payal wrote, directly addressing those sharing the videos and posting offensive comments. She also urged them to stay within their limits and mind their own business.
Her response highlights the growing frustration among actresses who face personal attacks under the guise of social media freedom. Payal made it clear that her body and appearance are not subjects for public scrutiny and that she does not need anyone’s approval to feel confident about herself.
Earlier, actress Anupama Parameswaran has expressed a similar view, asserting that social media is her personal space and that she has the freedom to decide what she shares online. “It’s my Instagram account. I decide what to post. People don’t know my life, so their opinions don’t define me,” she remarked at an event.
While some actresses are choosing to confront trolls, others are stepping away from social media. Aishwarya Lekshmi has indicated that she has no intention of returning to these platforms, while Anushka Shetty recently announced a temporary digital detox, expressing a desire to reconnect with life beyond the screen.
For others, however, online harassment has prompted legal action. Actress Eesha Rebba recently approached the police over allegedly obscene and defamatory comments posted against her online. Earlier, Anasuya Bharadwaj filed complaints against 42 individuals, including social media influencers and YouTube channels, accusing them of online harassment, criminal intimidation, defamation and the circulation of morphed and AI-generated explicit content.
The responses may differ, but the message from these actresses is increasingly clear: being a public figure does not give anyone the right to invade personal boundaries or subject them to vulgar abuse. As more celebrities speak out or pursue legal remedies, the culture of online trolling is facing greater scrutiny, with actresses refusing to let anonymous voices dictate their lives or choices.
