Arjun Kapoor is once again facing heavy online trolling, highlighting how mob mentality can turn dislike into cyberbullying.

While he may not be Bollywood’s best actor, many believe the hate he receives is unfair.

Every post or appearance of his attracts trolls, pointing out flaws or simply saying they find him “unbearable.” For years, such behaviour was dismissed as jokes or memes, but it has now gone too far.

Despite struggling to win over audiences as an actor, the 40-year-old is known to be a decent person, say his fans. 

Yet, online abuse continues, often for no reason at all. On a recent post, many complained they had to “endure his movies,” showing the hate has become almost automatic.

Observers say this is a clear example of mob thinking, where it becomes cool to join in on hating someone just because others do.

What once seemed like harmless teasing has now crossed into bullying, and fans are speaking up in his defence.

A person called out the haters and reminded them, "he is a human too."

An X user pointed out this discriminatory behavior as,  "India’s celebrity culture feeds off public humiliation while pretending it’s accountability."

Another posted,  "Mocking Arjun Kapoor isn’t honesty. It’s cruelty with WiFi."

Many point out the contrast with other Bollywood stars who have been involved in serious controversies or crimes, yet do not face the same level of online hatred.
