Controversial actress and former Big Boss contestant Sofia Hayat took to Instagram on Friday to shut down a troll who accused her of 'sleeping' with actor Abhinav Shukla. She shared a screenshot of messages she received on Instagram wherein a user called her names and said that she is in a relationship with Shukla. Sofia hit back at the troll and clarified that she has never met Abhinav and does not know him. Sofia revealed that the person wanted her help, but she blocked the person after learning the intentions were not good. The person then created another account and left her a series of threatening messages.
In a long instagram post Sofia wrote, "I understand energy and know that it is their energy and not mine, so when I get a message like this, I feel sorry for someone with such sadness and hatred for themselves and can only hope they work on themselves to release this pain instead of hurting others. But then, I don't get hurt, because I am not invested in this person. Bullies cannot hurt you when you know, their bullying is an inner reflection of their own state of mind. I send you love and blessings. May your heart and mind be clear. If not.. I'm having a wonderful life and day :) The next video explains my relationship with Abhinav Shukla. Namaste Shalom Salaam Satnam Mother Sofia Hayat," she concluded.
In another post, Sofia shared a video explaining the messages and her bond with the actor. She captioned the post, "My relationship with Abhinav Shukla." In the video, she said, "I'm very shocked that someone can send me such messages. I've never met him, nor worked with him and we aren't even friends but I have been accused...I've never even spoken to him. I didn't know who Abhinav Shukla is until I googled him...Just to tell you that it's not true." For the unversed, during Bigg Boss 14, Sofia had slammed Abhinav Shukla and his wife Rubina Dilaik for their behavior with Rakhi Sawant. In 2013, Sofia was one of the contestants on Bigg Boss 7.
