Our society feels it’s their birthright to pass comments or make fun of people’s appearances. It not only makes women but also men victims of their cruel and judgmental mentality.
Speaking of which, a married woman from Kolkata, Ekta Bhattacharjee, was recently trolled online for a disgusting reason. Shameless people took their wedding pictures off Facebook and posted them on other pages with heartbreaking and deplorable captions expressing how unlikely it is for an attractive woman like her to choose an ‘overweight’ husband.
Ekta Bhattacharjee, took to Facebook to share her story and the issue and said:
“I have been facing this since the very first day of my relationship. It’s been 11 years and I find these more than amusing. My choice of dating an overweight man was questioned and mocked innumerable times. I kept on ignoring.”
She shared screenshots of people trolling their pictures and leaving mean comments. Have a look.
And this is what trollers wrote:
It may put some trollers to shame how Ekta’s husband reacted to these trolls. When a friend of her’s shared a link with her, Ekta’s husband reacted in an amazing manner.
“A few minutes back my crazy man told me NOT to report this page. He said ‘It ain’t a big deal for me. There are so many people who love me. That’s more important than anything else. And these people are just jealous because I got a beautiful wife, baad de (leave it)’.”
Though many may have criticized them, there were some who stood in support of the couple. Many also mentioned how toxic people make themselves feel better by spreading negativity in other’s lives.
In her later post, Ekta thanked everyone for their support, love, and care. She wrote:
“It’s so easy to love a benevolent man who kills with his kindness. We have received an enormous amount of support in the last 48 hours. Hugs and gratitude to each one of you. For self, for others and for life…let love lead the way.”

It is heartbreaking how even in the 21st century, our society is so closed-minded. Rather than trying to find imperfections in others, we wish people could look inwards and work on themselves!
Having said that, kudos to the couple for standing up to trolls so gracefully!
