Last week, actress Malaika Arora Khan posted a collage of her pictures where she is seen chilling by the sea in Maldives in a black swimsuit. She captioned it: "Summer loving. Take me back."
While the post garnered many likes from celebrities including Farah Khan, Twinkle Khanna, Amrita Arora among many others, a section of people on Instagram trolled the mother of a 15-year-old using vile and distasteful comments.
Some people were commenting on her choice of clothes and asked her to cover her body.
But the actress, who has been a target of several trolls, says she doesn't pay attention to them. "I don't pay attention to trolls and that is the best way to deal with them," Malaika said in a statement.
"This is an old picture from my trip to the Maldives last year. People seemed to have a point of view on my attire in the pictures. To all those people, I just have one question: What as per you, is the appropriate attire to wear while swimming or diving in the ocean?
"To my knowledge, it is swimsuits that one uses the world over when considering water-focused outdoor activities. If people think we should be wearing something else, please enlighten me."
