Being a Superstar can sometimes put you in unnecessary troubles and this came evident from the recent social media incident.

In a shocking incident, a twitter user with handle @SRKMyCondom targeted singer Sona Mohapatra and ex Bigg Boss contestant Sapna Bhavnani and trolled them with a vulgar photoshopped image of Shah Rukh Khan.

Speaking to the daily Sapna shared, "I wanted this account to be suspended. Twitter initially told me it was not violating any guidelines. Since I tagged Menaka Gandhi and the Mumbai Police, this user started tagging them too, but it backfired for him. Ever since I spoke out against Salman Khan for his rape comment, I face trolls everyday. But, they don't bother me and I don't block those profiles; I just report them." (sic)

"However, that picture and the tweet was so vile and distasteful, I tagged Meneka Gandhi in the retweet, but there has been no response from her yet." (sic)

Sona Mohapatra, on the other hand retweeted Sapna's tweet and says, "There is a clear line between freedom of expression and targeted obscene harassment and it is critical that community guidelines be followed in the virtual world, just like the real world. I feel bad that Sapna got dragged into this since I had posted a pic of us in the gym and the Salman Khan controversy was still ranging." (sic)

Meanwhile, we tried contacting Shah Rukh Khan, his spokesperson clearly stated that the matter does not concern them and then won't release any statement about it. "The matter does not concern us. Why should we comment on it?"
