Anurag Kashyap’s daughter Aaliyah shares video on coping with rape threats and being referred as a prostitute

Aaliyah Kashyap, the daughter of talented filmmaker Anurag Kashyap and his first wife Aarti Bajaj, recently revealed in a video how badly she was experienced the huge backlash on social media for sharing her pictures in lingerie. Aaliyah, who is currently studying in the USA, said she was called with names like ‘prostitute’ and how cried inconsolably for receiving rape and death threats.

In a video shared on her YouTube channel, Aaliyah shared about how she dealt with all the negativity. “So social media negativity is something I have come to terms with. Like, I am a very sensitive person and even the smallest bit of hate does affect me, but I don’t know. I’m sensitive, I cry almost every day about the dumbest s**t.” She further mentioned in her video,”People were telling me that I should be ashamed of being an Indian and posting stuff like that. People were sending me rape threats, calling me a prostitute, sending me direct message and asking me what my ‘rate’ was, sending me death threats, s**tting on my family. That whole incident of the picture got me a lot.”

This incident shocked Aaliayah a lot, though her first reaction was quite intense but gradually she tried to settle down. As she said in the video,“I just realised that it doesn’t matter because these are people hiding behind their phones and have nothing better to do. I honestly just block everyone. If there is anything even remotely negative on any of my social media, I just block them because I want my social media to be a positive place.” Aaliayah is quite sure that she doesn’t want to work in Hindi films as she said in her video,”Oh my God, it’s Bollywood.’ I don’t get fascinated by it. That’s not what I want to do, I’m trying to stay away from it.”
