Abusing other films, my colleagues not cool: Shah Rukh Khan

Bollywood's King Khan takes a stand against social media trolling

Salman Khan's threat to quit social media over fans trolling SRK and Aamir was a transient effort, as fans are at it once again, this time instigating a clash between SRK and the Kick actor.

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan decided to intervene and took action, requesting fans to refrain from abusing and deriding other films and actors on social media.

He took to Twitter to convey his message saying social media gives people the right of freedom of expression but shouldn't be misused for trolling purposes:

On social media u do/say wot u feel,free expression blah blah,But wil request my ppl not 2 deride or abuse other films & colleagues.Not cool

But as the King of Bollywood can't suppress their right, he referred to people who use abusive language as "idiots" and further tweeted:

But ur lyf ur rulz. Am not here to 2 teach manners. But I deal with idiots with sarcasm. Madar Behen users r low on vocabulary & status.

Earlier, Salman also threatened to quit social media if fans don't stop abusing his co-stars.
