Actor Salman Khan’s sister Arpita Khan Sharma is very active on social media. Arpita fondly shares pictures and videos with not just Salman but also with her husband Aayush Sharma, son Ahil and other family members regularly on Instagram. Recently, Arpita received a rather disgusting comment when a video of her son Ahil with Salim Khan and Sohail Khan was posted on Instagram. The video was recorded on the occasion of Salim Khan’s birthday.
One of the comments read, "Yeh baccha polio ka sikar lagta hay. (This child looks polio affected)."
A naturally angry Arpita responded to the comment by calling it disgusting and requesting trolls to spare children. "Guys you all are disgusting. At least spare children in negative comments," she wrote. Though she later deleted the comment, its screenshot went viral.
Arpita is married to actor Aayush Sharma, and has been taking on trolls for years now. If you recall, Arpita had posted a rather long message in 2016 on her Instagram page taking on trolls who would comment on her family, weight, face, colour, husband and lifestyle.
"I wonder how jobless or bored you are that you are busy following or visiting a profile you don't like and have so many issues with. Why don't you do something better with your times and life rather than stooping down to a level of barking dog and displaying a very low line character of yourself. Anyway, have a great day. God bless," is what Arpita wrote.
We can’t help but agree.
