A couple of days ago, a little girl named Twinkle Sharma went missing in Aligarh and later her burnt body was found in a dumping ground. The 3 years old was brutally murdered by accused Mohammed Zahid because her parents owe him Rs 10,000 sum. So naturally what is Bollywood’s reaction to this is in the spotlight now.
Many heroines including that of Sonam Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor and Swara Bhaskar have hold placards and shared those pictures on Twitter, during the times of the brutal rape and murder of a little girl Asifa, with the tag #JusticeForAsifa. And now, as these heroines have simply put some tweets but no pictures, it looks like that is not going well with many, especially BJP folks.
As Sonam tweeted, “What has happened to baby twinkle is. Heartbreaking and horrific. I pray for her and her family. I also urge people to not make this into a selfish agenda. This is a little girls death, not a reason to spread your hate”, a lot of trolling followed.
BJP’s Priti Gandhi tweeted, “After shamelessly communalising the Kathua rape case she is now giving sermons to others to not spread hate! Your selective concern for the girl child depending on her religion & the timing of your movie release is so out in the open Sonam Kapoor!! #JusticeForTwinkleSharma”. Many other supporters of BJP and also some prominent authors like Shefali Vaidya questioned the likes of Sonam, “When you shamed Hindus after Kathua incident, where are your when a Muslim killed Twinkle brutally?”.
Though Sonam tried to tactfully avoid the situation by saying that she believes in Karma, trolling went to peaks until she went silent on Twitter.
