F**k off: Arjun slams trolls after they target sister Anshula
In the latest episode of Koffee With Karan Season 6, half-siblings Arjun Kapoor and Janhvi Kapoor graced Karan Johar's couch. It was a pleasant show with fun, laughter, and we saw the siblings opening up on their family woes. However, after their sister, Anshula Kapoor, couldn't help Janhvi win a game, the internet started trolling Anshula. The protective brother Arjun lashed out at haters.
Here is what Arjun said
Anshula didn't help Janhvi win the gaming zone round
In the show, Karan had organized a gaming zone round, in which he asked the duo to call a family member who had to say 'Hey Karan, what's up?' Janhvi instantly called Anshula and asked her to say it. Meanwhile, Arjun kept blackmailing Anshula. It was all fun and jest, but Anshula didn't say the words and Arjun won asking dad Boney Kapoor to do so.
Janhvi felt dejected after Anshula failed to help her
This incident left Janhvi a little teary-eyed at that moment. A visibly dejected Janhvi also told her sister on the phone, "Listen you've hurt me today. I am feeling like an unloved child in this family." After Arjun won the round, Janhvi's unhappy face was quite apparent and Karan also tried to cheer her up. However, this little family feud escalated to another level.
Janhvi posted throwback picture with Anshula, netizens started attacking latter
We all have little family fights and we all make it up. Similarly, the following day after the episode, Janhvi posted a throwback picture of her with Anshula but the responses were unprecedented. Netizens slammed Anshula for not helping Janhvi and being partial to his 'real brother' Arjun. One wrote, "@anshulakapoor don't show fake love...You are the worst sister ever shame on you."
Janhvi said Anshula got rape-threats, explained it wasn't her fault
After the trolling, Janhvi explained that Anshula couldn't hear her properly that day, thus couldn't help her. However, this didn't put the haters to rest. Yesterday, at a public-event, Janhvi said Anshula also got rape threats. She said, "As people are faceless on social media, they feel they can have opinions that sometimes cross a moral line." Janhvi added she felt protective of Anshula.
Public needs to stop meddling in private affairs of starkids
Who knew a harmless fun game between siblings would lead to such a fiasco? This is a classic example of public meddling unnecessarily into the lives of celebrity kids. They had a tiff, which was basically a misunderstanding and it was their misunderstanding. Big deal? Arjun's reaction was bound to come. It's high time people start revising their policy of aggressive fandom.
