I even told my mother, I don’t think I’ll be able to do this. Should I go back to school or college? I was so sensitive, but now I’m immune to it,” she said.
Raashii Khanna says people judge too fast
Raashii Khanna also spoke about trolling. She said she still feels it sometimes. She said, “I feel it a little bit now, because the trolling has gotten intense.”
