TV
celebs
are
not
strangers
to
nasty
online
trolls
especially
when
it
comes
to
their
physical
attributes.
Be
it
for
their
outfit,
weight
or
skin,
celebs
often
face
these
ugly
trolls
on
social
media.
While
some
chose
to
ignore
them,
the
same
cannot
be
said
about
Bengali
TV
actress
Shruti
Das
who
has
filed
a
cyber
complaint
against
trolls
who
had
taken
a
jibe
at
her
for
her
dusky
skin
tone.
Shruti
Das
who
made
her
debut
in
the
Bengali
TV
industry
with
the
show
Trinayani
went
on
to
file
the
cyber
complaint
with
the
Kolkata
Police
on
Thursday
(July
1).
The
actress
revealed
that
she
could
not
tolerate
the
hate
comments
and
trolls
anymore
since
they
were
getting
more
personal
and
nasty.
Shruti
revealed
to
PTI
stating,
"Initially,
everyone
around
asked
me
to
ignore
the
trolls,
and
so
did
I.
But
it
only
got
more
vicious
with
time.
I
am
in
a
steady
relationship
with
the
director
of
my
first
TV
serial
'Trinayani',
and
the
hate
brigade,
after
getting
to
know
that,
has
been
making
distasteful
remarks,
questioning
my
character
and
my
talent.
I
thought
if
I
take
it
lying
down
any
further,
it
would
only
give
them
more
reasons
to
continue
with
this
hatred."
Shruti
Das'
boyfriend
and
director
Swarnendu
Samaddar
also
spoke
to
the
publication
about
the
matter.
He
said,
"Looks
alone
cannot
ensure
success
in
the
industry.
Talent
matters
more
than
anything
else.
Not
just
Shruti,
there
are
several
others
who
have
made
a
name
for
themselves
by
sheer
dint
of
talent.
Trolls
keep
making
offensive
remarks
with
no
regard
for
an
individual's
sentiments.
Strong
action
should
be
initiated
against
them."
The
Desher
Maati
actress
had
tagged
the
Kolkata
Police
on
her
Facebook
post
to
bring
to
their
attention
the
nasty
trolls
who
have
been
targeting
her.
Shruti
was
then
told
to
mail
the
details
of
the
matter
to
the
Kolkata
Police's
cyber
cell.
A
senior
police
officer
overlooking
the
case
also
revealed
to
the
publication
stating,
"The
cyber
cell
of
the
Kolkata
Police
has
received
an
email
from
actor
Shruti
Das
regarding
the
online
abuse
that
she
had
been
facing
because
of
her
dusky
skin
tone.
The
actor,
in
her
complaint,
has
said
she
had
been
receiving
such
hatred
since
2019.
She
has
also
attached
screenshots
of
the
social
media
comments."
