Taapsee has been active on Social Media for quite long. Talking about the trolls and her experiences over those, she says – “Social media gives everyone a certain power which not everyone is equipped to handle sensibly. A lot of them use it the wrong way.” She feels the freedom for free-speech is being misused. “Since it’s a free country anyone can say anything, and the limits of how far one can go are not specified.”
She says that she tries her best to not to react on any social media troll. Taapsee adds – “But I guess it’s human to get provoked. Most of the time I don’t allow myself to get provoke. The alarming thing is, there’s so much of the toxicity one just gets used to it and immune to. I don’t know whom it’s more unfortunate for that I’ve gotten so used to the toxicity that it doesn’t affect me any more.”
Taapsee says – “I just feel like laughing sometimes at the whole circus. But then it is so sad and strange that people have so much bitterness in them and they are living with the bitterness all the time”. Taapsee’s family does get affected by all the negativity. “It does affect them because they are not part of the entertainment industry . They are not used to it. But it is a part of my life and they will have to get used to it. I have had conversations with my family on this matter.”
