Television star Aishwarya Sharma has opened up about how she has been trolled on social media for her character in Star Plus’ show ‘Ghum Hai Kisikey Pyaar Mein’.

Sharma, who plays Patralekha “Paakhi” Salunkhe has received abuse and death threats for her character. Incidentally, the actress is the girlfriend of Neil Bhatt (ACP Virat Chavan) in real-life.

Sharma told ETimes, “If I post anything online related to my personal life, they start harassing me. I am engaged to Neil, who plays my co-star in the serial. I cannot help that. I like posting about him on my account, but then they call me an insecure woman. I am marrying Neil in real life and I would request people to accept this fact now. I am scared to open my social media account.”

“It is very upsetting. People need to realize that I am playing a fictional character. They hurl abuses and make comments like I deserve to die. Apart from sending me direct messages, people tag me while making nasty remarks. I mean bit** has become my second name of sorts online. Also, if I post anything online related to my personal life, they start harassing me,” Aishwarya concluded.
