Trolls are something that is not new to celebrities these days. The celebrities come across these social media mocking for many reasons. Some people do these to get the attention of the stars, while some people do these activities to vent out their frustration. The latest target of this trend in Bollywood actress Sonakshi Sinha. Recently she appeared on the episode of the reality quiz show which is hosted by Bollywood veteran Amitabh Bachan.
Amitabh Bachan, who is also a very close friend of Sonakshi Sinha’s father Shatrughan Sinha who is also a Bollywood veteran, had invited her on her show for a charity cause. The show’s format is such that the contestant has to answer a series of questions that lead them to win up to 7 Crore Rupees if they answer all questions correctly. Moreover, for the contestants’ assistance, they are given four lifelines that can be used anytime by them if they have a hard time on any question.
So, the Bollywood actress was partnered with a contestant to raise money for a charity cause. But in the early phase of play, Sonakshi Sinha got stuck on a question that was shocking not only for the host Amitabh Bachan but also for Sonakshi Sinha’s mother who was also present in the show; The question that troubled her was from one of the most common mythological script- Ramayana. The question was-
“According to the Ramayana, Hanuman fetched the Sanjeevani herb for whom?”
And options were, a) Sugrive b) Lakshmana c) Sita d) Rama
The Bollywood actress struggled to answer this question which is very elementary for the majority of the people in the country. This gave the ever-hungry trolling social media their topic for some time. Sonakshi Sinha used a lifeline for this question and asked the guest expert and in the end, she could cross the question with the correct answer but the damage was done till then. The use of a lifeline on such a question even shocked the Amitabh Bachan that how she could not get through that question.
The most surprising fact that made social media frenzy was that her parents are an ardent follower of Ramayana, to a level that her father’s and uncle’s names are on Rama and his brothers. (Shatrughan Sinha, Lakshman Sinha, Bharat Sinha, and Ram Sinha). Her house in Mumbai is named ‘Ramayan’ and also her twin brothers are named- Luv Sinha and Kush Sinha who were the children of Rama and Sita as per the mythological text.
Even after being surrounded by the mythological characters from all around in the family, she is not being able to answer a question from the basic-line of the story has brought her in the centre of trolling.
After being trolled mercilessly online, Sonakshi Sinha took to respond recently and said that she loves trolling and trollers can also troll her for many other topics that she doesn’t know. This leads to further adding fuel to her trolling. This tweet was again taken by trollers to troll her.
