Elli Avram's treatment for trolls: Just a shrug or quite a caustic reply..

New Delhi, April 9 -- For celebrities, getting trolled on social media seems to have become a part and parcel of their life. 
While some give a hard-hitting reply to the nasty comments, others choose to ignore trolls and move on instead of getting embroiled in an ugly spat. 
Swedish-Greek actor Elli AvrRam has taken that detached approach. Currently in the news for her rumoured relationship with cricketer Hardik Pandya, Elli admits that she has often been subjected to "bad comments" on her social media posts. 
"But I never react to what trolls have to say on my pictures or videos on Instagram. If someone tries to sound mean, I just block them and that's about it. There's no point responding to them, as these are small-minded people who have got nothing better to do in life, so they post such things." 
Not the one who'd let others dictate her life, Elli adds, "A person on social media can't tell me who I am or what I'm supposed to do. If ever I've replied to someone, it would've been very sarcastic, with a smiley (emoji), maybe. And later, it only made that person realise their fault and reply to me in an apologetic manner. I remember, a year ago, someone posted a comment and I replied saying, 'Oh, you are having a bad day' and that guy replied saying, 'You are way too mature. I am sorry.' So, you need to know how to tackle them." 
The actor, who is shooting for the Tamil and Kannada remakes of the Bollywood film Queen (2013), shares that somehow, she has never been the person who'd give it back to someone else. 
"And it's not just on social media, but I'm like that in real life, too," says Elli. "I would just look at the person and understand what kind of a person he/she is and then take a decision if I'd want to be in touch with someone with such a mentality. I don't feel that just because someone has been mean to me, I also have to be mean with them. I know who I am and their words don't affect me."

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as  Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother  Sunny Deol  was already the  dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
