The actor says trolls about his sexual orientation and character do affect him.

“Trolls on my sexual orientation and character do affect me. Even if I decide to ignore it my loved ones are affected by it which bothers the most more than the trolls,” he added. The actor will address the issue through a TV show which brings celebrities and their trolls face-to-face.

“Through the show, I would like to convey this to people who troll celebrities under the pretext of giving a point of view that if you wish to have fun by insulting others, then you need to pay for it,” he added. Priyanka Sharma was a part of Bigg Boss 11 hosted by Salman Khan. The most talked about reality show wrapped up recently with Shilpa Shinde emerging victorious.
