Jwala Gutta, the Indian shuttler, is a Commonwealth Games gold medallist but I lose my ability to comprehend when I come across articles like ’30 hottest photos of Badminton player Jwala Gutta.’

Sadly enough, it is no news that star women athletes have always been meted with misogyny and eyes of objectification, but the recent boom of social media has somewhere aggravated the situation, bordering ‘cyber harassment.’ If you don’t believe me, well, you will after this.

Recently, Jwala Gutta was at the receiving end of another harassment online when a troll termed her ‘anti-Modi’ because of her ‘Chinese mother’.

If you’re not in the know, Jwala Gutta’s mother, Yelan Gutta, is of Chinese descent who married Indian Kranti Gutta from Hyderabad.

It all began when a hate-monger appeared out of nowhere and asked Jwala’s sister Insi Gutta, about her political stands. It was particularly derogatory because he dragged Jwala’s mother and her nationality into it.

And this was enough to invite Jwala’s wrath and rightly so. The Hyderabadi athlete then made sure that she gave him a piece of her mind.

The altercation, in fact, soon took the shape of a heated argument.

Do not dare say another word…she has her right to have an opinion…we r very much Indian or more than u!! N yes I am offended!!! — Gutta Jwala (@Guttajwala) July 29, 2017

The pestering did not stop there.

But Jwala, of course, was in no mood to take sh*t.

In fact, she also had the most kickass comeback of all time when the troll tried to school her.

U have lost ur mind!! Another word..u shall be blocked!! 😡 — Gutta Jwala (@Guttajwala) July 29, 2017

Now that’s how you kick ass. Don’t let anybody deter your spirit, Jwala.
