Moreover, the bullying many times turn into threats and cheap personal remarks. Also, after the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, the attack on star kids on social media multiplied further.

The campaign titled 'Full Stop to Cyberbullying' also includes several cyber experts who will guide the team from time to time. The first interaction aired on 26th July. Additionally, since then Sonakshi Sinha has been sharing promos of upcoming episodes.
Sonakshi Sinha is campaigning strongly against cyberbullies. In her first video, the actress says, "Screen ke piche baithke fake id se bully karna toh asan hai. par kya aap logon par iske bure asar ke baare mein jante ho? Kitna asan hota hoga na kisike personal pictures ka gairistamal karna. Computer screen ke piche baith ke gali galouj karna. kisiko vulgar message bhejna, behuda comments bhejna. Jaan ki dhamki dena. Aise trolls ka shikar bahut log hote hai. mein bhi unme se ek hoon. par ab baas."
