It's the age of internet trolls and memes and celebrities are the worst-hit. The latest to fall prey was a very pregnant Soha Ali Khan who posted a picture with husband Kunal Khemu on Eid. Donned in a beautiful Bengali saree (Soha's mother, yesteryear actress Sharmila Tagore is a Bengali) with her hair tied in a bun and adorned with flowers, Soha looked every bit the royal for her baby shower. However, bullies on the internet were miffed with the actress for not mentioning 'Eid' in her posts or wishing the same.

While many commented praises of the pictures, several others appeared to berate her for wearing a saree. One of the comments called her “not Muslim enough,” while another read, “Shame on you, you are not Muslim.” Emerging peaceful amid all the hate, the 'Rang De Basanti' actress ignored all negative comments and posted yet another photo from the event where she is surrounded by family and friends and still wearing a saree. “The love of family and friends is reason enough to dress up!”
