On Twitter, Farhan Akhtar fights trolls with sensible replies
Since whataboutery has taken over social media, having a conversation with anyone having different views, has become impossible. So when Farhan Akhtar asserted soaring fuel price could be brought down, he was asked 'but what about high-rise movie ticket prices'? However, it seems Akhtar has cracked the difficult code of dealing with such deranged arguments (of comparing apples and oranges) on Twitter.
Here is Farhan's tweet that snowballed a controversy
Akhtar was told Bollywood stashes black money, he retorted intelligently
Just as Akhtar voiced his opinion, on a matter that should actually concern all, he was at the receiving end of stupid arguments. One said the actor will be forced to do farming if no one buys his movie tickets. Another accused the film industry, of stashing black money and then crying over rising prices. To all these, Akhtar had intelligent answers.

As fuel prices sky-rocketed, many chose silence
The government's inability to curtail rising fuel prices has done little to earn criticism from its defenders. Rising petrol and diesel prices automatically lead to a rise in transportation charges, and increased inflation. But, the supporters of the government who staunchly spoke against fuel prices in UPA rule (looking at you Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachchan), chose silence this time. But, Farhan is talking, thankfully.

Farhan Akhtar's replies forced many trolls to delete tweets
After Farhan Akhtar denounced many trolls' argument, some of them were forced to delete their tweets. Those who continued fighting his logic with their insanity got replies. Today, Farhan wrote: "Thanks trolls .. this is better than a double shot of espresso to start my day.. I'm off now.. things to do in the real world." Only if the trolls did something productive!
