Sonam, who earlier this week got into a Twitter troll over a four-day meat ban here by terming it "misogynistic", called upon the victims of internet bullying to stand up for themselves:

To everyone out there please have the courage to stand up to bullies, trolls and people who generally put you down.. #wearyourcourage

Have an opinion whether it's good bad or ugly.. Let no one silence your voice.. Have the courage to stand up for what you think is right!

Sonakshi Sinha too was a victim to Twitter troll earlier this week, when her opinion against the meat ban annoyed some users.

"This is a free country! Welcome to BAN-istan... I meant India... Stupid autocorrect," the Dabangg actress tweeted:

This tweet was followed by remarks directed against the 28-year-old actress.

She then gave out a strong reply:

This is not the first time that actresses have been targeted on social media platforms. In the past, actresses including Alia Bhatt, Anushka Sharma and Deepika Padukone have been judged for their views on Twitter.
