It's horrible to pick on anybody: Aditi Rao Hydari

When asked if she feels it is unfair to pick on anybody, Aditi called this practice "horrible" and said that there is a way to say it. "It has gotten very mean and I think it's not fair and it shouldn't happen like that," she added. The actress condemned "mean trolling" against Sharmin and said it is their prerogative. She suggested that people should look at the positive. "I don't know what else to say but I do feel bad. I think we should all understand it and be there for each other," she added.

Why Sharmin Segal is being trolled?

Sharmin essays the role of Alamzeb in the show, a younger daughter of Mallikajaan. She received a flake for her "expressionless" performance owing to which she turned off her comment section on social media. Her co-star Shruti Sharma, who portrayed the role of Saima, Alamzeb's maid, extended support to Sharmin and said, "trolling is unacceptable".
