This Arjun Kapoor troll culture is toxic and it’s not funny anymore

Even if you’re not chronically online, you’ve probably noticed that Arjun Kapoor has been getting trolled relentlessly, and largely for no real reason. What started with his Underworld mein jigra meme going viral quickly spiralled into nonstop mockery, with the internet piling on ever since. But let’s be honest: this goes beyond jokes or criticism. It’s a clear case of online bullying, and no, Arjun Kapoor shouldn’t be harassed like this.



What started as a harmless trend soon spiralled, with users flooding his comment sections, often on completely unrelated posts with the same references, turning him into a recurring internet punchline.

The situation escalated as the meme opened the door to deeper, long-running criticism about his acting, career trajectory, and industry background. Instead of staying limited to jokes, the conversation shifted toward relentless mockery and personal digs. At that point, it stopped being about humour and crossed into targeted trolling, highlighting how quickly viral culture can turn insensitive and toxic when someone becomes an easy target.



Arjun Kapoor’s latest post in memory of his late mother struck an especially emotional chord, quietly revealing just how much the constant negativity may be weighing on him. In the post, he wrote, “Life’s been kinda cruel to me lately but it’s ok… I’ve taken the punches before, I’ll take ’em again & still rise.” While the message was layered with resilience, it also carried an unmistakable vulnerability. He could have been referring to many aspects of life, but in the current context of relentless online trolling, the words feel far from coincidental.



Let’s be honest, this level of extreme bullying, even when it happens online, is bound to affect anyone. Arjun Kapoor isn’t immune just because he’s a public figure; he’s a person with emotions, memories, and grief, not a rock meant to absorb endless blows. When mocking turns into sustained harassment, it leaves a mark, no matter how strong someone appears on the outside. His post feels less like a dramatic statement and more like a quiet admission that the noise gets to him and that empathy, not cruelty, is what’s truly missing from the conversation.

People often operate under the deeply flawed belief that being a public figure automatically makes someone fair game for limitless trolling. Yes, familiar faces are bound to face criticism or jokes online from time to time but there is a clear moral line, and it’s crossed the moment trolling turns into outright bullying. Repeatedly swarming Arjun Kapoor’s posts with vile, hateful insults serves no purpose whatsoever. It isn’t commentary, it isn’t humour, and it certainly isn’t “calling someone out”, it’s harassment.

Regardless of whether someone is a celebrity or a private individual, sustained online abuse has real mental and emotional consequences. Public figures are not immune to anxiety, self-doubt, or distress simply because they live in the spotlight. When trolling becomes relentless and dehumanising, those participating in it must be held accountable. Hiding behind screens does not erase responsibility, and normalising this level of cruelty only reflects a growing lack of empathy in online spaces.
