Mumbai: Taking a stand against online trolling, superstar Shah Rukh Khan has asked his fans to refrain from abusing and deriding other films and actors on social media.
It seems the trigger was the usual fan-war between SRK and Salman Khan’s followers, which was laced with expletives.
While the two actors have buried the hatchet, some fans still continue to ridicule them.
Shah Rukh, 49, took to Twitter and said that social media gives people the liberty to say what they want but they should not misuse the power to troll others.
But ur lyf ur rulz. Am not here to 2 teach manners. But I deal with idiots with sarcasm. Madar Behen users r low on vocabulary & status.

Calling the users, who use abusive language as “idiots”, the actor further tweeted,
