Actress Shamita Shetty recently took a strong stand against online trolling, hitting back at a user who questioned her single status at the age of 47. In a series of Instagram stories, she exposed the troll named Pankaj Mittal by sharing screenshots of his comments and even asked him to unfollow her.
The Troll's Comments
The first comment shared by the 'Mohabbatein' actress read, "Aapki age ho gayi hai pehle wali baat nahi rahi" (You have grown old now; you are not the same as before). Giving a fitting reply, Shamita penned, "Yes." She further added that it is natural to look different with time. "Yes I will look different.. Things change with time, it's the natural way of life..nothing stays forever including physical appearance! BUT For my age I'm healthy, fit and happy with a grateful heart for all that the almight has given me...n that's all that matters to me," she wrote.
Shamita's Fiery Response
Shamita then shared a second comment that said, "Agar shaadi time par kar leti toh aapke bache aaj bade ho gaye hote" (If you had gotten married on time, your children would have grown up by now). Furious at this, Shamita asked the user what exactly he feels he has achieved by getting married. She further pointed out the common practice in society of age-shaming single women. She wrote, "Aapne shaadi karke kya ukhaad liya hai bhai? Most importantly, why the hell do you follow us single women to age-shame us and inflict us with your patriarchal, cave-man-like, male-centric thought process? Please do me a favour and unfollow me pronto!"
