Nepali born Bollywood actress Manisha Koirala trolled recently for her tweet supporting the revised map of her country Nepal. The new map includes regions like Limpiyadhura, Lipulekh and Kalapani as a part of its territory.
India has strongly objected to the new map, claiming it’s “artificial enlargement” and is not accepted by India.
When Nepal’s Minister for Foreign Affairs Pradeep Gyawali posted a tweet, the actress retweeted his post and added: “Thank you for keeping the dignity of our small nation… we all are looking forward for a peaceful and respectful dialogue between all three great nations now.”
Manisha Koirala trolled
Her show of support irked many Indians who believe that she gained fame and wealth through India and is now showing a bias towards her native country. After a while posting the tweet Manisha Koirala trolled heavily and some of them are full of hate speech.
“You are supporting the illegal map of Nepal to support India rather than you on such a problem which makes your identity from India. The Indian movie industry gave you tons of fame and money which how you repay us,” read one tweet.
The hashtag #BoycottManisha is additionally gaining traction. While she’s being trolled by Indians, there’s a neighborhood of social media users who believe that the actress is entitled to her opinion which spewing hate against her isn’t helping.
“So if Priyanka Chopra is in Hollywood means she can’t represent India and her motherland … Manisha comes from one among the highest class. Her talent made her employed in India not India’s sympathies … Jay Nepal,” tweeted another user.
Koirala was last seen in the slice-of-life drama ‘Maska’ (on Netflix) and has acted in Bollywood films including ‘Dil Se’ and ‘1947: A Love Story’.
