HT Brunch Cover Story: Sonakshi Sinha Vs the trolls

If you are out to heckle Sonakshi Sinha on social media or in life, prepare for a firing in return!

A few months ago, Sonakshi Sinha was brutally trolled for not being able to answer a question at a quiz show. Things got so bad that #YoSonakshiSoDumb started trending on Twitter. But instead of taking this quietly, the actress hit back with a hilarious but hard-hitting post giving trolls other interesting options for new memes on her. She ended the post with “…Agar aapke paas koi kaam nahi aur itna time hai toh please yeh sab pe bhi memes banao na. I love memes (sic)”
