The love-hate relationship between television actress Shilpa Shinde and social media trolls can't be ignored. Post her Bigg Boss 11 stint, she has been in more in news for online trolls than her projects. And recently, when Shilpa came out in support of Navjot Singh Sidhu over Pulawama attack comment, she was trolled her mercilessly and few of them even threatened to rape her.

Shilpa, who joined the Congress party earlier this month, spoke to IWMBuzz and said that she is planning to take legal action against these faceless people. She said, "I am going to take legal action. It is high time the authorities stepped in and cracked down on such elements who have also attacked several women journalists like Barkha Dutt and others. I call such people terrorists as well, for their actions are as bad as the LeT and JM guys. What wrong did Paji say? People just want to twist his lines. Where did he support terrorism? Agreed, he might have been politically correct by not criticizing his friend, Imran Khan, but you need to understand that they have played together for years. Also, why was everyone after him to say something bad about Pakistan. He hit the nail on the head by saying that, at the end of the day, issues can only be threshed out on the peace table."

Navjot Singh Sidhu found himself in the middle of a raging controversy after his comments on Pulwama terror attack received a severe backlash on social media. Post his comments, the netizens demanded his ouster from The Kapil Sharma Show and many of them claimed to have unsubscribed Sony TV. It is being reported that Sidhu has been removed from the comedy show. However, there is no formal intimation about his termination from the show, claimed Sidhu.

When asked about her reaction on Navjot’s ouster from the show, she said "I am totally against the new phenomenon of banning anyone whose views you don’t concur with. Sadly, CINTAA and other industry bodies are equally complicit in this. Everyone has the right to occupation; you can’t deny me the right to earn my livelihood. In the same vein, I also bat for the rights of Pakistani artists to work in Bollywood, purely on the basis of talent. I have been victim of this ban culture, so know what’s wrong with it."

Sidhu's controversial comment on Pulwama

"For a handful of people, can you blame the entire nation and can you blame an individual? It (the attack) is a cowardly act and I condemn it firmly. Violence is always condemnable and those who did it must be punished," Sidhu was quoted as saying.

What Kapil said about the controversy

Kapil spoke about the controversy at an Art of Living event on February 18. "These are very small things, or can also be a part of propaganda. I feel banning someone or sacking Navjot Singh Sidhu from the show (The Kapil Sharma Show) is not the solution. We need to look for a permanent solution," he told the reporters.

Talking about the Pulwama attack, Kapil said that he is with the government. "We are with the government but still we need a permanent solution. The cowardly act in Pulwama that killed our soldiers shouldn't be forgotten and the culprits should be punished," he added.
