Celebrities these days are subjected to brutal online trolling. Especially with the boom of social media, the trolling has increased exponentially. Not just trolling, artists these days are at the receiving end of threats for their work too. The latest victim of that trolling and threats is Raima Sen. The actress has been receiving threatening calls on her landline number for quite some time now. Trolling on social media is not new. Some people adjust themselves to the trend. But Raima faced an unprecedented event this time. She has been constantly threatened on the phone.
Raima is part of the upcoming film ‘Maa Kaali’. The film delves into the backdrop of the communal violence of August 16, 1946, known in history as the ‘Direct Action Day’ or ‘1946 Calcutta Killings’. Recently, several posters of the film came out. As per reports, some unknown people have been constantly calling Raima on her home’s landline and threatening her since the posters of the film came out. Raima informed that the threats are coming her way both in Bengali and Hindi, and the language of those threats is questionable. She says, “I have been getting these calls. But I would just request people to watch the movie first and then give their opinion. The threats were in line with how I agreed to do the film, being the granddaughter of Suchitra Sen, and sometimes I was reminded that I would have to stay in Kolkata in the future.” The actress reportedly is shocked to learn the extent of the threats that she is receiving.
Raima, Suchitra Sen’s granddaughter stays with her parents in Kolkata. According to her, she has always stayed away from politics and controversy and being at the receiving end of threats is unacceptable to her. Last year, the film ‘The Vaccine War’, directed by Vivek Agnihotri and starring Raima, was released. Due to Vivek Agnihotri’s previous film ‘The Kashmir Files’, ‘The Vaccine War’ was also knee-deep in controversy. ‘Maa Kaali’, the film directed by Vijay Yelakanti, is yet to release its first teaser or trailer, followed by the release date.
