Priyanka Chopra may be gearing up for her big-fat wedding
with American singer-actor Nick Jonas, but the lady’s professionalism knows no
bounds. Maybe this is the reason she is loved beyond just B-Town and has a huge
fan following in Hollywood as well. She is associated with various social
causes: from UNICEF’s works for Child Rights to her philanthropic outings for
Cancer patients, she is one of the most socially and philanthropically active
stars of Bollywood. And just yesterday, PC spoke up about the healthy behaviour in virtual
world, women entrepreneurship and mental health through #SocialForGood in a Live-A-Thon.
Interestingly many Bollywood celebrities joined hands with her at this event.
Priyanka Chopra, in association with Facebook, took up the
most prevalent issues today including the #MeToo
campaign and depression during the event held in Mumbai. Punjabi superstar and
Bollywood’s first turbaned star Diljit Dosanjh also marked his presence.

While Priyanka Chopra talked about #MeToo campaign and Depression in detail, she also pointed out the
perils of trolling and hate comments on social media. Adding to her words of
wisdom was the newbie of Bollywood Janhvi Kapoor. She was recently seen on the
Koffee With Karan’s episode with her half-brother Arjun Kapoor. Sharing an
incident that took place right after one of the segments on the show, Janhvi
told,
“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.”
She further added
“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.”
Well, social media is most definitely one confusing territory to
tread on. It can be a good way to connect with friends and family, globally but
it most definitely comes with its cons. We just suggest you to avoid taking up
the medium as a place to spread hatred and keep a check on the online
behaviour.
