Bollywood is not new to the boycott trend. Most often, the trend begins on X platform hours, prior to a new film release. Sometimes, the attacks are personal, aimed at targeting 'nepo kids'. Some go to the extent of trolling actors for their past statements.
However, this time, Bollywood celebrities who chose to speak out against the atrocities committed by Israeli forces in Rafah, were brutally trolled.
The Israeli airstrike that reportedly ignited a fire, killing 45 people in a tent camp in the Gazan city of Rafah had sparked widespread outrage.
Actor Madhuri Dixit had to delete her post on Instagram after she was attacked by trolls. Indian cricket captain Rohit Sharma's wife Ritika Sajdeh too was targeted for supporting Palestine.
Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Varun Dhawan raised their voices against the atrocities committed against the Palestinians.
