Meera Chopra: “Why Is NTR Jr Quiet While I’m Being Abused By His Fans?”

Meera  Chopra didn’t know what hit her when, during a chat on social media with the public she  happened to mention that she  liked the Telugu superstar Mahesh Babu and she that she didn’t know much about NTR Jr.

That was   it. NTR Jr’s fanatical fans  took  off  on   a tirade of  vulgar insults against the actress.

“I’ve received  hundreds of  threats from NTR Jr’s fans many of them offering to gangrape me . Some  of them have morphed my face  on  porn  stars  showing  gangrape,” says the shaken actress who  has reported every one of them to the cybercrime  team.

“I’d have probably borne the brunt of  the violent  and explicit abuse . But then NTR’s fans took off on my parents.  Some of them said they wished my parents  got  the  coronavirus. That’s  when I was shaken up. I decide to take  action against these so-called  fans of  NTR Jr,” says Meera.

She wonders why NTR Jr is  quiet  through all the attack on her. “All he has  to do is to tell his fans  to  stop, and they will  stop. But he is not  doing it. I wonder why! What  kind of  fans does  he have who threaten to gangrape a woman because she  likes  another star?”

Meera  is not just dismayed by NTR Jr’s  silence  but also by the lack of  support from her fraternity in this  hour of distress. “Not a single  member  of  the entertainment  industry has  said  word in my support.Not even those who are generally so vocal  on  social media.”

 She means  Swara  Bhaskar and  Richa Chadha?   “Yes, in fact Richa is  a friend of mine. Maybe she doesn’t want  NTR Jr’s fans to target her. I  am okay with fighting  these cyber goons on my own. I am going to make sure they are taken to task because  these  cyber  abusers  , if not checked, go out there and  actually  rape women.”

Meera feels the cult  of abusive fan-crushing must end. “This is a  South phenomenon. Every superstar in  the South must  sternly warn  his fans to not indulge in abuse . NTR Jr should openly disown  these so-called fans  who are  threatening to rape  me and questioning my character.  Because his silence says more about him than the abuses  of  his fanatical fans.”
