Aamir Khan on online trolling: It's not feedback or criticism but pure negativity for the sake of it
Aamir Khan As he chatted about his upcoming film Sitaare Zameen Par, Aamir Khan opened up about a subject that has trailed him more in recent years than perhaps any of his earlier decades in cinema—online trolling. He doesn't bristle at the topic, nor does he dismiss it. 'It does feel bad,' he admits. 'You put in so much effort—months, sometimes years of hard work—and then someone, who hasn't even seen the film or understands the context, decides to say something purely negative. That's what trolling really is. It's not feedback. It's not criticism. It's just negativity for the sake of it.' For Aamir, there's a clear distinction between criticism and trolling—and he believes society often blurs the two. 'There's a reason we call them trolls,' he says. 'We don't call them angels. Trolls feed off negativity. They don't engage with the work, they just react based on bias or agenda. So, if people want to get involved in what trolls are saying, that's their choice. But I don't let it get to me.' Despite the noise around trolling, he's adamant that it has no real impact on a film's fate. 'It doesn't affect the box office,' he says with conviction.

If a film is good, no one in the world can stop it from succeeding. And if it's not good, no one can make it a hit either.' He pauses, then points to Laal Singh Chaddha , a film that faced intense online backlash before and during its release. 'People say it didn't work because of the trolling. That's not true. If 3 Idiots had released in the same atmosphere of negativity, do you think it would've failed? No chance. That film worked because it was made well. Same with Dangal . Even if that had been trolled, it still would've been a superhit. Because content is king.' In his view, Laal Singh Chaddha didn't fail because of online noise—it simply didn't connect with the audience. 'The film couldn't touch the hearts of people,' he says frankly. 'It wasn't about the trolling. The film didn't land emotionally the way we hoped. That's on us.' What bothers Aamir isn't the trolling—it's when the real audience doesn't respond the way he hoped. That's who he's listening to. 'When a song releases on YouTube, I go through the comments,' he shares. 'And I can spot the trolls instantly. They'll write things like 'boycott'. That's not feedback—that's noise.' But he values the honest reactions. 'I want to hear from people who actually engage with the work—who say, 'I liked it' or 'I didn't like it,' but from the heart. That's meaningful. That helps me grow as an artist.' Check out our list of the latest Hindi , English , Tamil , Telugu , Malayalam , and Kannada movies .

Indian office upgrades to free premium coffee to make employees happy, but it backfired hilariously-- Here's what happened
With discussions on topics of work-life balance and office culture becoming common these days, a recent post on the 'Indian Workplace' subreddit has caught much attention online. Why? In the post the person, who works in an Indian company, shared how after serving poor quality coffee to employees, in a delightful move their company treated the employees with a premium coffee machine. The employees loved this change so much that many started visiting the pantry more frequently. But, alas, what happened next was simply amusing. It all started when a company, tired of being roasted for its terrible coffee (more like burnt bean water), decided to level up. On April 1, 2025— no joke— they teamed up with Nestlé to bring in fancy new machines that could whip up everything from cold coffee and hot chocolate to tomato soup and iced tea. Sounds dreamy, right? Well, the dream didn't last long. The new beverage setup turned the office pantry into a mini buffet— and everyone showed up hungry. Instead of using the coffee machine responsibly and judiciously, employees started having it as meals. Some even grouped near the machines, to hog everything. If you showed up late? Too bad. The chocolate drink and soup were all over. Soon, managers began noticing that employees started stretching their coffee breaks and most work desks became empty, while the pantry buzzed with excited people. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pensando em viajar? Azul Linhas Aéreas Compre já Undo Not just this, the company too started refilling supplies in the pantry from three times a week to three times a day and it was still not sufficient. The six-month stockpile of premixes vanished in two months flat. With costs increasing and productivity dipping, the management eventually decided to scrap the fancy machines and bring back the old coffee makers that brewed more disappointment than coffee. And those who were responsibly using the coffee machines were devastated. The moral of the story? When given premium perks, maybe don't treat them like a 2 a.m. hostel buffet. Otherwise, it's back to bad coffee and broken dreams.
