Just months ago, Fatima Sana Shaikh was trolled for posing in a bikini during Ramadan. Now, she is being trolled for wearing a saree

Months after being trolled and slut-shamed for posing in a bikini during Ramadan, actor Fatima Sana Shaikh is once again under the scrutiny of trolls; this time for posting a selfie in a saree. Last week, the Dangal actor posted a selfie on Instagram. Giving credit for saree to Swati Mukund, the actor captioned the photo "Shameless Selfie".

While the picture was received well by many of her admirers and fans, trolls used it to shame the actor. A user wrote, “Sharam n(a)hi aati kya tujhe. Besharam aurat. (Aren't you ashamed, shameless woman)". Another user wrote, “Cheap stunt bt third grade actress...ag(a)r saree shameless h(ai) to ky(u)n p(e)h(a)n r(a)khi h(ai)....burkha p(a)h(e)n...(if saree is shameless then why are you wearing it...wear burkha)”. 

However, among over 1,000 Instagram users who commented on the photo, many were Shaikh supporters. One fan wrote, “You look awesome. Don't pay any attention to useless trolls." Another follower wrote, "It’s a beautiful picture!! I can’t see anything wrong!! Come on Fatima... forget trolls."

Of course, this is not the first time a famous woman is trolled for her choice of clothes.

Last month, Pink actor Taapsee Pannu faced the wrath of trolls for posting some stills from her film Judwaa2 on Twitter. She was wearing a turquoise blue floral bikini. Her photos triggered an avalanche of reactions on Twitter. 

While mostly actors choose to ignore the trolls, Pannu decided to give it back to them in the most witty manner. When a Twitter user posted a rude comment, which was later deleted, on her photo: "K(a)m se k(a)m social media pe aisi g(a)ndi pic m(a)t upload k(a)riye...g(a)ndi g(a)ndi movie b(a)na ke desh ki young pidhi ko to b(a)rbad k(a)r hi r(a)hi h(ai) aaplog... (At least do not upload such dirty pictures on social media. Anyway by making dirty movies you all are ruining the next generation)", Pannu replied with:

In the recent past, actor Priyanka Chopra was heavily criticised on social media for wearing a knee-length dress while meeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Berlin. She was mercilessly trolled for showing her legs and crossing one leg over the other when she met the PM. While many people accused her of not being "sanskaari" enough, some claimed that her dress and posture shows her disrespect towards Modi.

A user wrote: "Priyanka please follow decency while talking or sitting in front of such a great person. Please give respect to Modiji. And follow Indian culture.”

Chopra gave it back to trollers by posting a picture with her mother Madhu Chopra, both flashing more legs. She wrote: "Legs for days…. #itsthegenes with @madhuchopra nights out in #Berlin #beingbaywatch.”
