After greeting fans, Richa said she had never thought she’d record a message like this amid lockdown in the wake of coronavirus pandemic. She then said, “Some people are targeting me from anonymous accounts and objecting to my way of life and my behaviour and attitude.” She said that some haters often write dirty things to her and talk about Hindu-Muslim divide. “I thought I should directly talk to the haters and trolls instead of writing to them. You, especially the haters, will love it when you hear your own praises in my voice.”

She then said in a separate video, “There is this person who, I guess, has started loving me a lot. I know, this is the language you guys understand. When I wrote fill your heart with kindness and humanity, this person wrote ‘so you can freely celebrate Muslim festivals’ and I responded ‘Yes, just like Hindu festivals.’ The troll then wrote ‘Don’t fool anyone, when you celebrate Hindu festivals your husband is a Muslim.” Responding to the troll the actor used a cuss word and said, “Who are you that I must respond to your queries?”

 

She read similar abusive posts on her husband’s religion and her inter-religious marriage and responded angrily. In another video, she also asked the troll to make her video viral and help her “gain forgotten popularity”.

She wrote alongside the post, “Act of Defamation a very legal action has been taken against your fake ID’s. I am not the one who ..... gets bullied you hear me. You must know whom you are trolling . And I will not block you this time. I will wait.”
