''Everyone’s life is not a bed of roses ji. Everyone has struggled to reach somewhere.I’m sure you have a house/car too.The day heat waves/flooding/natural disasters strike,it’ll affect the common man first. Elitists will be the first to run away to their Swiss chalet.''

Retweeting a tweet video of a Mumbai local train of a user who called her shameless, she wrote, “Uptil 1991, I travelled like this. And being a girl also got physically harassed by nameless trolls like you. Before I started working, saw success and earned my first car. Troll ji. Nagpur ke ho, hara bhara hai aap ka city. Lucky. Don’t grudge anyone their success or earnings.”

Celebrities like Shraddha Kapoor, Farhan Akhtar, and Richa Chaddha to count a few are among the A-listers who have condemned the cutting of trees for the metro shed.
