Soon after Javed Akhtar made the tweet praising Virat Kohli, a few netizens took to the comment section and began spreading communal hate. Instead of appreciating the sportsmanship and India’s glorious win, some individuals tried to twist the conversation. One such troll commented,

“Javed. Babar ka baap Kohli hai (Kohli is Babar’s father). Bolo (say), Jai Shree Ram.”

However, Akhtar was quick to shut him down with a powerful response. He wrote,

“Maen to sirf yeh kahoonga ke tum eik neech insaan ho aur neech hi marogay. Tum kya jano desh prem kya hota hai (I want to say that you are a petty person and you will die petty too. What do you know about love for the nation?).”

His reply made it clear that he would not engage in unnecessary hate and knew exactly how to put such people in their place.

Another troll attempted to provoke him by saying,

“Aaj suraj kaha se nikla. Andar se dukh hoga apko to (Where from did the sun rise today? You must be feeling sad).”

To this, Akhtar gave an even stronger response, reminding the person of his family’s deep-rooted patriotism. He wrote,

“Beta jab tumhare baap dada angrez ke jootay chaat rahe thay tab mere aazadi ke liye jail aur kala paani mein thay. Meri ragon mein desh premion ka khoon hai aur tumhari ragon mein angrez ke naukaron ka khoon hai. Iss anter ko bhoolo nahin (Son, when your father and grandfather were licking the boots of the British, at that time mine were in jail and Kaala Paani. I have the blood of patriots in my veins, you have the blood of British servants in your veins. Don’t forget that difference).”

His response not only silenced the troll but also served as a strong reminder of his family’s contribution to India’s freedom struggle.

This is not the first time Javed Akhtar has faced such communal trolling. Time and again, brainless netizens try to target him, assuming it’s “cool” to spread hate. However, Akhtar, known for his sharp words and fearless attitude, never shies away from giving them a befitting reply.
