Actor Sara Ali Khan was trolled by a section of social media users after she advocated that “All Lives Matter” instead of #BlackLivesMatter on her official Instagram page.
In her post, the word “Black” was replaced “All” thus turning the statement “Black Lives Matter” into “All Lives Matter”.
The poster also contained three hands with varying skin colours of white, brown and black along with an elephant trunk to pay a tribute to the pregnant elephant killed in Kerala.
Sara though soon came under attack from many social media users for her act. While she was getting trolled, some twitter users came out in her support.
She's absolutely right! Every life matters, irrespective of sex, race, region or religion, whether it's a human or an animal. Every single life matters!

Well said, SARA ALI KHAN! pic.twitter.com/Hth3LZR91l
Sara Ali Khan wrote All Lives Matter and she was forced to delete the tweet by abusive Leftist Trolls and pressure from Bollywood propaganda lobby.

Nobody from Bollywood came to support Sara because for them only money and propaganda matters. pic.twitter.com/V7hdsgI52c
Following the backlash Sara though decided to delete her post.
The #BlackLivesMatter movement recently intensified after the death of African-American George Floyd amid police brutality allegations.
Various Bollywood stars have come out in support of the movement which led actor Kangana Ranaut to question their silence on incidents back home like the brutal lynching of Sadhus in Palghar.
