IANS, 11 Sep, 2015 11:33 AM

Actresses Sonam Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and Priyanka Chopra have spoken again social media users who mock celebrities for their views and ideas on socio-political issues.

Sonam, who earlier this week got into a Twitter troll over a four-day meat ban here by terming it "misogynistic", on Thursday called upon the victims of internet bullying to stand up for themselves.

To everyone out there please have the courage to stand up to bullies, trolls and people who generally put you down.. #wearyourcourage

"To everyone out there please have the courage to stand up to bullies, trolls and people who generally put you down...#wearyourcourage," she tweeted.

Sonakshi too was a victim to Twitter troll earlier this week, when her opinion against the meat ban annoyed some users.

@sonamakapoor building that courage takes strength and the ability to take the bashing after takes even more strength #yougogirl :)

"This is a free country! Welcome to BAN-istan... I meant India... Stupid autocorrect. (sic)," the "Dabangg" actress tweeted.

This tweet was followed by remarks directed against the 28-year-old actress.

She then gave out a strong reply, saying: "Welcome to Twitter. Where only trolls are allowed to have their say. Yep, the only space they should be taking up in life is the 140 characters here! And the best part is, trolls think they are relevant, while we carry on with our happy and positive lives. God bless you all!"
