“When I shared the news of his demise, public reactions were also shocking as nothing has happened around us,” she said.
“Aamir sahib was under severe pressure and the whole society is responsible for it,” the Ishq Zahe Naseeb starrer said while lashing out at the keyboard warriors.
“The trolling has broken a person who had strong will power and common people like me how can they survive it,” she questioned.
