Your life is #jhand, stop venting on others. Arshdeep paaji, tussi koi lod na lo (Don’t stress). Love you.”

A renowned actor Gul Panag also tweeted, "Truly tragic the way @arshdeepsinghh has been trolled. And it appears to be the handiwork of another IT cell. Don’t fall for it. P.S. The misfortune of devious propaganda is, others can do it too. And it works like a dog whistle, with the intended recipients unaware."
