Actress Ayesha Khan has spoken openly about the mental impact of online trolling after her dance performance in the song Shararat from Dhurandhar went viral.
The performance recently gained huge attention on social media and brought the actress into the spotlight. However, along with popularity, she says she has also faced disturbing online harassment.
In a recent interview, Ayesha Khan revealed that she is frequently sexualised on social media because of her appearance. She said people often leave negative comments regardless of what she posts or wears.
The actress explained that such comments affect her mental health. She admitted that she sometimes thinks several times before posting anything online.
At times, she even avoids sharing posts because she does not want to read comments that degrade or objectify her. According to her, the constant trolling creates emotional stress.
Ayesha Khan also spoke strongly against users who post obscene comments or threats online. She said such behaviour is dangerous and should not be ignored.
The actress stated that some individuals posting threats online could potentially be harmful in real life. She added that it is frightening to think these people exist in society.
She also pointed out that discussions about trolling often happen in interviews, but meaningful action is still limited. According to her, the problem has existed for years and needs stricter measures.
Despite the negativity, Ayesha Khan expressed hope that stronger action will eventually be taken against online harassment.
Her comments have received strong support from fans on social media. Many users praised her for raising awareness about the bullying and threats that people, especially women, face online.
Supporters believe her statement highlights a larger issue affecting social media today. Many are now calling for stricter action against online harassment and abusive behaviour.
More power to you, #AyeshaKhan. It’s women like you who make Women of Impact meaningful.
