Almost every actor in the showbiz world has faced social media trolling and criticism. The stars are constantly under scrutiny and the trolls spew venom on social media for absolutely bizarre reasons. Well, speaking about trolls, a while back, actor Meghana Raj Sarja shared a video of herself, binging on a burger. Commenting on the video, a naysayer claimed that Meghana has forgotten about her late husband and actor Chiranjeevi Sarja. Reacting to the trolls, in an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble, Meghana Raj Sarja spoke about the negativity in the digital world.
Meghana tells us, “Honestly, no. I did not face any kind of negativity at that point of time. I think in a way Chiru shielded me then also. The way he shielded me is so magical if not for Raayan I think I would have gotten all the negativity in the world. I think what really shook people was that I was 4-4.5 months pregnant at that time, I still feel that there are days when I think if I was not pregnant then, how would people look at me now? Now that Chiru is not physically around here, how would people treat me now? What would they talk about me? These are things that run in my mind but I also think, I told you, he’s definitely my guardian angel. He just couldn’t, he couldn’t you know leave me without protecting me and he did and how. I feel somehow I didn’t face any kind of negativity but I do not react kindly when I look at other people you know in similar situations being criticised for what they’re doing because none of us knows anyone’s story completely. It’s easy to comment on social media because it’s you’re just typing, you’re just thinking and you’re putting it out there. You’re not living the life of the other person who’s actually breathing every second and going through that emotion. It’s very easy for me also when I look at somebody wearing something I’ll be like I don’t think she has any (problem), look at her dress, ‘oh if she’s wearing this that means she has no problem in life.’”

“How do your clothes define what problems you have in life? And social media has filters even the worst-looking clothes can look really good. There was a point of time when I wanted to quit social media not because people were negative, actually for me, God’s Grace, Chiru’s Grace people have been extremely positive to me on social media and I have tried to look at only the positive side of it. Yes, there has been not equal share but lesser a percentage of people who have tried to poke me. Just very recently I had put up a post like when I was eating something, I was eating burgers, I was like continuously eating so it was my binge day and it was a random decision that I’m going to put it on social media. Then some random comments saying ‘oh so now you don’t remember Chiru at all’ I’m like I don’t have to prove it to you brother I really don’t have to prove it to you whether I remember him I think of him it’s completely up to me. I don’t have to every single day put up a post saying, I’m doing this, I’m eating this, I’m remembering this person I’m following this person or doing this, I don’t have to. I don’t have a legal contract with anyone to do that,” Chiranjeevi Sarja’s wife Meghana Raj Sarja added.
