Mumbai, September 20, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Actress Naila Grrewal has opened up about dealing with social media trolls, saying she prefers to focus on her work rather than give importance to anonymous people online.
Speaking exclusively to IANS, the Maamla Legal Hai actress said social media trolling does not affect her much and that constantly engaging with people hiding behind screens is not good for one’s wellbeing.
Asked how much online trolling affects her and whether she responds to trolls, Naila said, “It does not affect me that much. I feel giving so much importance to nameless and faceless people is not good for your health.”
“You just keep doing your work and take your work seriously. As I said, these things will keep coming. Today it is Instagram trolls; tomorrow it will be something else. But your work and your focus should not be shaken,” she added.
Naila was also asked about the growing trend of actors competing with social media influencers and content creators for projects, given the latter’s reach and online following.
She acknowledged that this is the reality of the industry today but said serious filmmakers continue to prioritise talent and the quality of the work.
“But serious directors who give the most importance to their scripts will never sign an actor based only on numbers. They will sign someone based on their work and potential,” she said.
Naila added that being a strong performer ultimately matters more than having a large social media following.
“At the end of the day, if you are a strong performer, regardless of whether you are also an influencer or social media star, I feel that is not the main point. Your performance and the work you bring to the table will ultimately get you work,” she said.
“All these things will keep changing. Today it is Instagram; tomorrow it will be something else. But acting is not going anywhere. If your acting foundation is solid, you will definitely get work,” she concluded.
