Beautiful Tamil actress Trisha Krishnan was forced by her own people to temporarily deactivate her twitter account on Sunday. She had a massive 3.2 million followers.
Trisha on Saturday was mobbed by angry protesters at the shooting location of her film after her statement against ‘Jallikattu’, the traditional bull taming sport conducted by Tamil people during the Pongal festival.
On Saturday, there was a tweet from Trisha’s official account, “I’m a Tamilian and I support @peta @petaindia cruelty to animals no matter how old the traditions are is no justification. #BanJallikattu.”
“Disrespecting a woman and her family is Tamil culture? You should be ashamed to call yourself a Tamilian or even speak about Tamil culture,” Trisha posted after she was flooded with hate messages and trolls on social media.
She claimed that her account was hacked and lodged a police complaint too. Even after the Kollywood fraternity including Kamal Haasan came to her support saying she expressed her opinion and that she shouldn’t be targeted, the abuse on social media didn’t cease. Finally, Trisha had to deactivate her twitter account.
It may be noted that PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) had obtained a Supreme Court order against conducting Jallikattu and ever since the organization became an enemy of sorts for Tamil people.
