Actress abused for criticising Indian Prime Minister Modi

Actress Neha Dhupia is the latest in line to come under fire for speaking or rather tweeting out against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after Shruti Seth and Kavita Krishnan.

Twitterati trolled Bollywood actress mercilessly after she posted a tweet criticising Modi-led government on Tuesday.

As Mumbai came to a halt owing to the heavy downpour on Tuesday, the 'Julie' actress shared some words of advice on good governance.

She tweeted, "Mumbaikars pls be warned traffic outside is terrible, roads r flooded the situation is getting worse by the minute. Step out only if u must!"

"One rain and the city comes to a standstill. Good governance is not about selfies and making us do yoga, it's making sure your citizens are safe."

The second tweet garnered more than 3,000 retweets and 24000 favourites.

It also earned her quite the backslash and sexist comments after trolls on Twitter questioned her choice in films, her political affiliations and made jokes on her being a woman- all because she asked a question to a democratically elected government.

Sujay Bagi @SujayBagi: @NehaDhupia Focus on making a meaningful movie. Rain problems in Mumbai isn't because of PM. Maha govt should take care of it #MumbaiRains.

Samta Dikshit @samtasaha: @NehaDhupia Lets blame the infrastructure, the city design, the people littering. Lets learn to take blame too. Selfie, yoga, clean india, beti padhao are good INITIATIVES for self awareness. Social reforms are also part of good governance.

Shashank Shrivastav @shashank_indian: @NehaDhupia Well I wouldn't mind to tell u that roads within city is not under the jurisdiction of Central Govt. Think before Tweeting.
