Mawra Hocane tries to answer fan questions on Twitter and gets cyber-bullied instead
Yesterday, the hashtag #AskMawra was trending on Twitter. And the bubbly Mawra Hocane fell victim to cyber-bullying.
The 23-year-old probably wanted to do something nice for her massive fan army but instead, got hoarded with mean remarks regarding the spelling of her last name.
Or why she chose to lock lips on screen for her Bolly debut.
Some refused to even acknowledge who she was yet still tweeted about it.
In a recent interview with Filmfare, Mawra says she's "a dreamer who wants to break stereotypes.” Well, that's exactly what she's doing, whether by deliberately misspelling her name or sharing a kiss onscreen with her co-star to prove that she's committed enough to her career to ruffle a few feather, if necessitated by the script.
While we often laugh off digital cruelty, it's important to sometimes take a step back and think about the adverse effect it might have on the person on the other end. Celebrities may warrant equal parts love and hate, it's what the job entails but we sometimes forget that they're only human, after all and your skin can only be so thick.
In a sea of celebrities that are just too vanilla Mawra is unapologetically honest and keeps her admirers on their toes. Let's not bring down her spirit with emotional keystrokes of cyber-bullets.
Atleast this lady gets it:
