Sushmita Sen on trolls who said 'chakka' when 'Taali' poster was released

Actor Sushmita Sen has been nothing short of a trailblazer where her resurgence in the entertainment industry has been one to watch out for with two riveting seasons of Disney+ Hotstar's Aarya but as revealed by her recently, she also suffered and has powered through a heart attack.

Known for her positive attitude whenever she interacts, the actor is now gearing up for the release of her upcoming series, Taali. Based on the life of ShreeGauri Sawant, India's first third gender activist, Sen plays the titular role of the same. The teaser of the series was released over a week ago and since then, the actor has been on a promotional spree.

Rather expectedly, when the poster of the series was first released, it led to a large section of the social media brigade going on to troll Sen and commented 'chakka' on her the post. In a recent interview, Sen revealed that these 'nameless people on social media' did exhibit a lot of hatred but she blocked of all them.

She mentioned that when it first began, she thought how can they do that to her and took it very personally because it was happening on her timeline. She also talked about how if this case is making her feel so strongly only as she is portraying Gauri Sawant's life, the affected personalities are facing it and breathing this every moment of their life.

She further added that she thanked the stars that she had the opportunity to change this somehow and if God has made her a medium through which the love that people have for her can be passed on to a community that has longed and ached for it, they deserve it too.

Taali is directed by Ravi Jadhav, who has won several National Film Awards. It is set to premiere on JioCinema from 15th August 2023 onwards.
