Social Media is indeed the great leveler in today’s tech-driven times. It’s the place where common folk can mingle freely with celebrities, VIPs and heavyweight personalities, and get a chance to put forth their view to the celebrities, with a bright chance that the object of their attention will respond to it.
Of course, this freedom is sometimes misused by a section of netizens, who mercilessly heckle and abuse celebs.
But most of the time, fans engage with their favourite celebs in good humour, and celebs too come up with with witty rejoinders, resulting in hilarious exchanges on the net. Like it happened recently, when a fan good-humouredly trolled King of Comedy, Vir Das, comparing him to Shahid Kapoor. Vir Das posted the comment on his Instagram handle.

Not to be outdone, Vir Das responded in a similar vein, which resulted in a hilarious thread, where his fans of every hue and kind posted their take on the comparison.
