Pooja shared a post with a quote that read, “I don’t have the time, energy or interest in hating the haters; I am too busy loving the lovers.”

In the caption of the post she wrote, “This has to be said. Instagram seems to have become a place where people anonymously & otherwise use their access to hurl abuse, threaten rape and goad you to ‘go die’. I used to ignore this sort of talk as I always believed that only people who are in pain themselves want to hurt another and also if you accept love, you must accept criticism too. But is someone wishing you and you family death, constructive criticism or just an attempt at vile cyber bullying? I have been advised to turn off all comments but by doing that you block out all the positive, well meaning constructive feedback as well. Why should I push back the people who give me good vibes for the ones that only spew venom towards people in general? But what I have done now is make my account private. You want access to my world? Make a request.”

Meanwhile, Pooja is awaiting the release of ‘Sadak 2’ which also features Alia Bhatt, Sanjay Dutt and Aditya Roy Kapur. The film is set to release on August 28.
