In the millennial era, the advent of social media has been so major that one side of the coin allows fans to stay connected with their favourite celebrities, and the other side, makes celebs the target of trolls. Social media has its own set of pros and cons as it gives us a close sneak peek into the lives of celebrities, but it also makes them at the receiving end of some nasty comments. Celeb trolling has become a common phenomenon these days and netizens give no second thought before posting mean and brutal comments for them, as a cost of being loved.

Aishwarya looked stunning in a black knee-length jeans, white tee and a dark grey shrug which she complemented with nude ballerinas and a long beaded necklace.

In an interview with SpotboyE, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan had talked about how she and her husband, Abhishek Bachchan deal with trolls. Speaking about Junior B, Aishwarya had said, “Abhishek does what he has to do or what he feels like doing… to each his own. There have been instances where he has been silent for years and made a choice to remain silent and then once a while he decides to engage and then he does. There is no telling if he will or if he won’t, it is a matter of at that time.” Sharing that she has no time for trolls, Aishwarya had stated, “It’s the approach, sense of self, self-confidence, self-esteem and finding strength in our capabilities that I find liberating. Be in tune with who you are because that keeps you positive. Once you start radiating that positivity, there is no stopping you.”
In September 2018, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Aaradhya Bachchan were spotted at the airport and was seen walking hand-in-hand with her seven-year-old.

Nobody is going to eat her baby!”, “Doesn’t she go to a school or something she is always spotted with her mum anywhere and everywhere”, “She seems to be an over protective mother and that’s not healthy in the long run”, “I dont think that she is a normal child at all...Taimur has such confidence in this age only and here is she behaving like”.
