My sister Anshula received rape threats: reveals Janhvi Kapoor
Arjun Kapoor’s sister Anshula Kapoor received rape threats on social media for a very silly reason which they recently did on Koffee With Karan'.. Janhvi Kapoor made this shocking revelation at a live-athon at Facebook’s Mumbai office hosted by Priyanka Chopra.
“You want to
protect the people in your life. Like for example my sister actually just
recently got trolled on social media. She did something silly on Koffee with
Karan and started getting like rape threats and stuff. And it was just weird to
me. As people are faceless on social media, they feel they can have opinions
that sometimes cross a moral line. So when I put stuff that’s personal up on
social media, I do think of that too. I feel protective towards them... what
people might say about them or about my equation with them. You tend to be
guarded,” said the Dhadak star.
During the recent episode of ‘Koffee with Karan’ with Arjun Kapoor and Janhvi
Kapoor, for a particular game segment, Karan asked the duo to call up a
relative and get them to say, “Hey Karan, what’s up,” and that whoever does it
first would win a point. Janhvi called up Anshula and started explaining to her
as to what she has to say. But Arjun told Anshula not to say the line and
warned her that if she says so he will not come back home. In this chaos,
Anshula got confused and didn't say anything and Arjun won the game.
When the episode was aired on Sunday, Janhvi's fans harshly trolled Anshula for not helping the ‘Dhadak’ star. Anshula even got rape threats over the silly matter.
Arjun Kapoor tweeted #Something I assumed was an absolute non issue on Koffee with Karan has escalated into @anshulakapoor being abused & I can’t be bothered by protocol anymore. F**k all those trolls who wish harm to my sister. I hope ur mom or sister never have to go thru what u have put us thru...
