Amidst the buzz about ‘Sadak 2’ release, filmmaker-director, Mahesh Bhatt and his daughter have been facing alot of backlash on social media platforms. Pooja Bhatt recently made her Instagram account private and for those who were already following her spotted a lengthy note on her account. Through her post, she reveals why she had to take such decision.
In her post, she opened up that she received rape threats with haters telling her to “go die.” Pooja Bhatt wrote that while she was advised to turn off comments, she didn’t want to do that as that would cut off all the love and positive responses she would get. Here’s how Pooja Bhatt began her post: “This has to be said. Instagram seems to have become a place where people anonymously and otherwise use their access to hurl abuse, threaten rape and goad you to ‘go die’. I used to ignore this sort of talk as I always believed that only people who are in pain themselves want to hurt another and also that if you accept love, you must accept criticism too. But is someone wishing you and your family death, constructive criticism or just an attempt at vile cyber bullying?”.
“I have been advised to turn off all comments but by doing that you block out all the positive, well meaning, constructive feedback as well. Why should I push back the people who give me good vibes for the ones that only spew venom towards people in general? But what I have done now is make my account private. You want access to my world? Make a request. You want to converse with me, cut out the abuse,” read her post further.
“As for wishing me death, the same God and Universe that watches over you, watches over me as well. I will pass when life decides for me. And as long as life keeps me breathing I will live to the optimum and revel in the now. We seem to have become a pathetic lot…. spewing abuse, inciting violence, following agendas of manufactured hate like sheep. We are still in the middle of a pandemic. People are dying in huge numbers every day… due to COVID, hunger, depression and unemployment. But those lives lost don’t seem to concern the haters. Their hate is what consumes them instead. But yet, I wish them well. May they heal. May they hurt less. May they reclaim the humanity they were born with yet choose to toss aside. May they live… Healthy, long lives,” she concluded writing what she felt.
