Alia Bhatt’s mother Soni Razdan lashes out at Instagram after daughters received death threats

Actress Alia Bhatt's sister Shaheen Bhatt had shared screenshots on Instagram of hate messages and rape threats that she has been getting from unknown people. Actress's mother Soni Razdan lashed out at Instagram for failing to curb harassment. Soni wrote, “@instagram I do hope you’re reading this and taking some note of it. Because it really gets to the root of the issue. So easy na to let the abusers off the hook. To let yourself off the hook. To let the onus fall on the abused to take action to protect themselves. It’s basically and fundamentally ALL WRONG.” Shaheen has also warned of legal action against her abusers. Sharing the screenshots, Shaheen wrote: "Does this surprise you? Why? It doesn't surprise me." Shaheen's post comes at a time when the Bhatt family -- Mahesh Bhatt, his daughters Pooja and Alia Bhatt and mother Soni Razdan -- are being targeted with trolls and memes on social media for allegedly practicing nepotism in the film industry. The trolling started ever since Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput passed away last month. (All photos: Instagram)
