The actress wrote, “I am aware of the ‘Rules’ of conduct while hoisting the flag, the RESPECT for my country and THE FLAG stems from my heart and not up for questioning. I am a proud Indian. Today’s post was to share and celebrate that emotion. To all the trollers (that I ignore usually) DO NOT appreciate YOU airing your ignorance and spreading negativity on this Day. So get your facts rights and please BACK OFF.”

This isn’t the first time Shilpa has slammed trolls. Back in the past, Shilpa celebrated her son’s birthday at an old age home and distributed sweets and fruits to the senior citizens. However, she was slammed was distributing the ‘cheapest’ fruit (banana). Apart from that, many even called it a ‘publicity stunt’.

Shilpa then gave a befitting reply saying, “It’s sad you think way. Yes, we personally served them a full dinner service after this. I only put it up here for ‘awareness’ so more people can get directed to this cause or contribute to this place that needs help. And like I said, this is tradition for us, our parents have been taking us here for years and I continue that with my child. Broadcasting to show off is never my intent.”
