It is happening and we can not keep calm! It was last Sunday 14th June,’20, when an extremely talented actor who charmed us with his mere presence took to heavenly abode. Since then, social media is in turmoil and the debate over ‘nepotism’ is going strong with two groups fighting against each other.
You might know that celebrities are biding their goodbyes to social media platforms to stay away from ‘negativity’ and useless bitter-bantering happening due to this. A few days ago Dhadak director Shashank Khaitan left Twitter following Dabangg superstar Sonakshi Sinha to avoid gloom and doom.
Following the steps of these B’town celebs, recently, Salman Khan’s brother-in-law Aayush Sharma, Zaheer Iqbal, Saqib Saleem and filmmaker Mudassar Aziz, bid their adieu to twitter to show that they are in no mood to take any hatred and negatives from faceless people.
These celebrities took to their respective social media accounts, to state the reason for exiting the micro-blogging site. An excerpt from Salim’s note read, “Hey Twitter, when we met for the first time, you were a lovely. A great platform to express feelings, gather knowledge and understand many different points of view. But, of late you seem to have gotten lost in all the hate everyone is so ready to throw at each other, a place of bullies, a place where abusing people is a normal code of conduct.”
Aayush Sharma, on the other hand, wrote, “280 characters are less to define a human being but 280 characters are more than enough to spread fake news, hatred and negativity. Didn’t sign up for this nasty herd mentality… khudda hafiz.”
Zaheer Iqbal, who debuted with the film Notebook and was launched by Bhaijaan Salman Khan, bid farewell to the social networking platform and wrote, “Goodbye Twitter.” Filmmaker and Huma Qureshi’s BF Mudassar Aziz had quit Twitter long back; however, he’s now exited Instagram as well.

We do not know whether to appreciate the move or to feel sad about these celebs deactivating their respective accounts, as it was one such medium to bring celebs closer to us, and their fans. But, looking at the negative space that micro-blogging site has created, this was indeed, something that was coming!
