Being a public figure isn’t easy. They’re always in the limelight. And more often than not, people want to hog their limelight. And what’s the easiest way to do that? By throwing dirt on them and/or picking up a fight with them. Because social media, dude, so why not?

Now while most of the times celebs choose to ignore these people affectionately (read: irritatingly) called ‘trolls’, there are times when they decide to give them a taste of their own medicine. And it’s times like these, when we want to thank the social media. Check ’em out.

1. When Karan Johar decided to have a chat with Ram Gopal Varma. Minus any Koffee.

And ended up getting more re-tweets and likes than the original tweet.

Tch tch tch! Ram Gopal Varma even gave a clarification later on (while applying ice on the burnt area.)Yeah, we totally believe you, Ramu.

2. When Sonam Kapoor proved that a sense of humour is one thing she definitely has.

3. When Deepika Padukone gave us one more reason to love her.

Yeah, well tried Times Of India.

4. When Abhishek Bachchan proved he doesn’t take shit from anybody when it comes to his family.

5. When Shahrukh Khan proved that he’s not just the Badshah of Bollywood, but the Badshah of comebacks as well.

6. When Lisa Haydon decided to show KRK his place.

It all started when KRK commented on this pic of Lisa Haydon.

And thankfully, Lisa decided to tell him exactly what the world thinks of him.

7. When Uday Chopra proved that he’s more than just a pretty face. (LoL!)

8. When Sonakshi Sinha decided to take no more nonsense from KRK.

Of course KRK didn’t have the brains to understand what she meant.

9. When Rishi Kapoor too, decided he’d had enough of KRK bullshit.

And we loved how Chintu ji re-tweeted this.

10. When Shashi Tharoor finally clarified that he wasn’t there in Andaz Apna Apna.

Shashi Tharoor had been denying rumours of him being in cult classic Andaz Apna Apna for too long now.

So finally, he decided to put the rumours to rest for good.

11. When Amitabh Bachchan had this to say to the hacker who hacked into his Twitter account.

So after somebody hacked into Sr. Bachchan’s Twitter account and started ‘following’ porn sites, the Shahenshah of Bollywood had this to say.

12. When someone called Sonakshi Sinha ugly and got shut down in the most epic way ever.

To which, Sonakshi had this to say.

Guess our Bollywood celebs are way smarter than they look.
