hurt due to her web show. Ekta said that she understood the Indian Army’s
displeasure and apologized for it but what she didn’t understand was the
cyber-bullying.
Ekta Kapoor became a victim to the Cyber-bullying:
Ekta Kapoor said,” A gentleman has openly put a rape threat on the
social media platform, this is now no longer about the Army or the sexual
content because the irony of it is you are saying that you want to rape a girl
and rape her son, her 71 year old mother for making sexual content, means sex
is bad but rape is okay?”
Ekta further added,” Respecting the Army is what I do; it was a mistake on our
side which we rectified. Now, I have decided to take the route of actually standing
up to the cyber-bullying. If they can decide to take my nudes out, put
out the nudes on the net, call me r****, then tomorrow they can do this to any
girl.”
Ekta highlighted the need of standing up
to cyber-bullying as it can really affect your mental health. She called out
the bullying netizens and stated,” you want to rub my nose to the ground? Well,
you are not getting a chance.”
