While
social
media
is
a
great
platform
to
connect
with
people
across
the
globe,
one
cannot
ignore
its
dark
side
as
well.
Filmmaker
Anurag
Kashyap's
daughter
Aaliyah
recently
opened
up
about
how
she
was
cyber-bullied
for
sharing
pictures
of
herself
in
lingerie.
The
young
starlet
posted
a
video
on
her
YouTube
channel
in
which
she
spoke
about
the
immense
hate
she
received
for
her
bold
pictures.
Aaliyah
revealed
that
she
got
called
a
'prostitute',
and
even
received
rape
and
death
threats.
Speaking
about
how
she
was
subjected
to
unsavoury
comments
for
her
photos,
Aaliyah
revealed
in
her
video,
"People
were
telling
me
that
I
should
be
ashamed
of
being
Indian
and
posting
stuff
like
that.
People
were
sending
me
rape
threats,
calling
me
a
prostitute,
DMing
me
and
asking
me
what
my
'rate'
was,
sending
me
death
threats,
s**tting
on
my
family.
That
whole
incident
of
the
picture
got
me
a
lot."
Aaliyah
opened
up
about
how
she
deals
with
the
hate
on
her
social
media
page
and
said,
"So
social
media
negativity
is
something
I
have
come
to
terms
with.
Like,
I
am
a
very
sensitive
person
and
even
the
smallest
bit
of
hate
does
affect
me,
but
I
don't
know.
I'm
sensitive,
I
cry
almost
every
day
about
the
dumbest
s**t."
Explaining
how
the
trolls
took
a
toil
on
her
mental
health,
Aaliyah
said
that
she
was
initially
"crying
constantly," but
soon
realized
that
she
should
not
get
so
affected
by
trolls
hiding
behind
the
veil
of
anonymity.
"I
just
realised
that
it
doesn't
matter
because
these
are
people
hiding
behind
their
phones
and
have
nothing
better
to
do.
I
honestly
just
block
everyone.
If
there
is
anything
even
remotely
negative
on
any
of
my
social
media,
I
just
block
them
because
I
want
my
social
media
to
be
a
positive
place," she
said
in
her
video.
Aaliyah
who
is
currently
studying
in
the
US,
also
revealed
that
she
has
no
plans
of
joining
the
film
industry.
She
said
in
her
video,
"The
movies
my
dad
makes
aren't
very
commercial.
I
obviously
grew
up
watching
my
parents
but
for
me,
it
seems
normal
because
that
is
what
I
grew
up
watching.
So,
it's
not
like,
'Oh
my
God,
it's
Bollywood.' I
don't
get
fascinated
by
it.
That
is
not
what
I
want
to
do,
I
am
trying
to
stay
away
from
it."
