Pragati Mehra lashes out at a troll for bad-mouthing on 'Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai' co-star, Jay Soni

Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai star Pragati Mehra aka Mahima, who has a reputation for taking down trolls like a boss lady, was yet again seen calling out a troll for her hateful comment on Co-star Jay Soni and tagging Mehra in troll filled dm messages. 

It happened when Pragati was going through her Instagram dm, where she found a trail of hateful messages, which she took to her Instagram saying, “So I decided to go through my DMs today as its kinda difficult to check it every day and I came across unseen tags on stories filled with hate for an actor in the garb of hate for a character. I did delete tons of stories that were posted..at the end of the day it's your page & understanding. I can’t control that, even if it's warped, but then I came across an absolutely unnecessary comment for a colleague on a story I posted, And I was compelled to respond To make fans understand. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ACTOR -the REAL and the CHARACTER -the REEL, and if you do not understand that, it speaks volumes about your daftness. I am choosing words like 'daft' coz it's stupid”

She continued stating, “As fans, you are entitled to like/love /hate a character... but when fans can not figure the line between actor and character it's disheartening. You may hate a character but hating an actor and here making a personal comment is completely not needed. Harshad is a nice guy, and so is Jay. Both are equally friendly and well-mannered. The audience and fans do not know them . They know Abhimanyu and Abhinav - and that's fiction. So all I can say is don't get confused and make fiction your reality!”

Mehra concluded by saying, “I could have blurred the name of the fan/fan page/ handle but wanted to showcase the daftness & venom one spill for no reason at all! (And more so, tag me!!) WHY?? Am I either /or of them? You and everyone else do this for traction n eyeballs, so here i give you eyeballs for your unnecessary viciousness. My friends, unfortunately, it speaks volumes about you; fortunately, very little about the other person. This ain’t fetching you any brownie points, even from the one who you supposedly love."
