While
social
media
is
a
great
place
for
celebrities
to
connect
with
their
fans
and
give
them
a
sneak-peek
into
their
lives,
there's
also
a
flip
side
to
it
in
the
form
of
trolls.
However,
Malaika
Arora
says
that
she
is
no
longer
affected
by
these
criticism
as
she
has
realised
the
importance
of
being
'unapologetic'
about
her
decisions
over
a
period
of
time.
The
diva
who
turns
48
today
told
Hindustan
Times,
"I've
been
in
the
public
eye
for
a
significant
part
of
my
life,
which
comes
with
its
fair
share
of
criticism.
Be
it
on
the
work
front
or
personal
one,
you
are
srutinised
for
some
decisions.
But
with
time,
I've
realised
the
importance
of
being
unapologetic
about
your
decisions'.
Malaika
said
that
she
doesn't
get
affected
by
trolls
anymore
and
added,
"I
don't
pay
any
attention
to
negative
comments
or
trolls.
It's
certainly
challenging,
but
over
the
years,
I've
realised
that
not
letting
these
unnecessary
trolls
get
to
you
is
the
best
way
to
be."
She
added,
"I've
chosen
my
happiness
over
anybody's
opinion
about
me.
I
have
always
been
open-minded
and
non-judgemental."
However,
the
actress
admitted
that
there
was
a
time
when
she
was
bothered
about
what
others
thought
of
her.
But
now,
her
mantra
has
changed.
Speaking
about
it,
she
continued,
"With
time,
I
have
become
more
vocal
about
trolling,
but
fundamentally,
I
am
unaffected.
I
have
built
this
shield
to
protect
me
and
my
family
that
keeps
me
going.
I
am
more
certain
about
keeping
my
sanity
than
wasting
it
on
something
unsubstantial."
With
respect
to
work,
Malaika
is
currently
co-judging
India's
Best
Dancer
Season
2
with
Terence
Lewis
and
Geeta
Kapur.
