The virtual world has become a route for Bollywood celebrities to connect with their fans, but it has its negatives as well. Superstar Salman Khan says social media users forget to act “responsibly” while expressing their views on the internet as they get carried away thinking that “no one will find out” about it.

Salman encountered the dark side of social media when some of his fans used fake accounts to post abusive comments about his colleagues and friends Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan. Some time ago an impostor even used his photograph on Facebook to make a casting call for a Bollywood film. Salman earlier had even threatened to quit Twitter.

People misuse freedom of expression on internet 100 per cent. Freedom of expression is that you should be responsible for what you say. It’s not saying something behind someone’s back and thinking that no one will find out as it is on the web or do whatever you feel like or hire some company or some boys

He added that all this was “not only unfair, but gandh (dirt) as well” and a clean-up action in the virtual world is required.
