Esha Gupta has been a victim of trolling for a while now. However, she has never taken it lying low and has always given trolls a piece of her mind.

Talking about the ubiquity of trolls, she says, “Nowadays, anyone who has an android phone can write about anything and everything. So you can be on your phone and be faceless and say anything about anyone. It doesn’t matter to me but I speak up because I feel someone needs to speak up.”

She further adds, “When someone says inappropriate things to me, they could be treating other girls the same way and these are the kind of people that need to be silenced. That mentality needs to be put right. Just because you are faceless doesn’t mean you have a right to speak anything to anyone. I will not take trolls lying low,” says the actress and adds,  “Irrespective of how well you are doing, there will be someone who wants to knock you down.”
