  • This special musical video follows Bani J tirade against trolls as a part of ‘Trolled’ series on RISE by TLC

    This special musical video follows Bani J tirade against trolls as a part of ‘Trolled’ series on RISE by TLC

    MUMBAI: After a power packed punch by Bani J to the misogynistic trollers, comedy sensation Mallika Dua is all set to fire back with her quirks and wits and show the internet hate its place. This will be the second short format music video under the ‘TROLLED’ series and will premiere on Rise by TLC, a digital-first channel for women, by women.

    Leered at as a Tinder aunty, and trolled for her body, Mallika Dua, the famous comedian on the digital domain, has been facing the ire of trolls ever since she stepped into the limelight. And now, Mallika gives it back to the ever-loving cyberbullies.

    Speaking on the occasion, Mallika Dua, said, “It is easy, nah fashionable, to sit behind an anonymous screen, and post lewd comments online.  Bravado? Well! yes, if you see how some of the trollers gloat when they make personal and derogatory remarks against you; for body shaming you,” said, Mallika Dua. “At first, I was extremely sad, not angry because when you work for something, you give your best and make it with lots of love. You hope that everyone will appreciate it but gradually you realize that these nameless, shameless idiots (trollers) job is to shit on people who are doing better than them. You realize that anonymity is an all access pass and the internet is an outlet for their frustrations and insecurities to manifest themselves as hate. So, it’s really like they are trolling themselves and not me”, she added.

    Discovery Communications India, Vice-President, Premium & Digital Networks, Zulfia Waris said, “We are delighted with the response of inaugural trolled video featuring Bani J. The comments, the Discovery Communications Indiafeedback, we received were overwhelming. The Mallika Dua’s trolled video takes the discussion forward as we endeavor to create a much-needed impact on ground.”

  • Rise by TLC empowers female artists to take on internet trolls with the launch of ‘Trolled’

    Rise by TLC empowers female artists to take on internet trolls with the launch of ‘Trolled’

    MUMBAI: It’s time for the social media trollers to get trolled! 3 female artists: 3 videos – whether they’re being body shamed, trolled for their fashion sense, for speaking up, or just being themselves! These women, in the form of a quirky, originally composed music video, and lyrics packed with punchlines will give it back to their trollers. The first to feature on Trolled, is VJ Bani who hits back at misogynist Trollers, and hits back hard. Trolled will premiere on RISE BY TLC, a digital first channel for women, by women.

    Popular VJ and actor Bani J, will be seen debuting as a singer in this quirky and original music video where she will be seen slamming the cowardly trolls. 

     

    “Mard… half mard… Man. Kya karna cha rahi ho? Pura din gym mein hi rehti ho? Kaun Karega shaadi?  Tattoo ki dukan… Thoda toh ladki ki tarah bano… A lot of people like to throw these words around just like they love to throw their opinions in your face; shove them down your throat and then stuff you until you suffocate into a neat little column or box and file you away where you can no longer serve as a threat to their narrow minded, never expanding nor evolving selves. ‘They’ don’t have the patience, the space in those tiny heads that are kept at alarmingly limited capacities by believing all the shit they have been fed. Beliefs of how one is supposed to BE, THINK, BEHAVE and of course LOOK,” said, Bani J, speaking her heart out.

    “When TLC came to me with this for a song to get back to the trolls, I was so excited because I really do believe that judging people and making assumptions about them is completely pointless. Like, who are we to judge one another? It’s all ego and insecurity driven and it’s never going to be productive or fruitful. Let this video be a reminder to you beautiful supportive lot to not look for validation from outside of yourselves, don’t get into that column and box just to make someone else happy, do what feels right for you, what makes you happy. Look within, it’s there. All you ever need. I have never gotten any kind of happiness by succumbing to someone else’s definition of me or what I am supposed to be like.”

    Discovery Communications India, Vice-President, Premium & Digital Networks, Zulfia Waris said, “RISE by TLC aims to give wings to young Indian women with its progressive, clutter-breaking content. It will serve as a platform that provides women a strong voice on a variety of issues in a fun, entertaining manner urging women to move forward, to move society, to challenge norms & ideologies, to move beyond preconceived limitations.”

I had an absolute blast shooting for this campaign and it stands for everything that I had believed in which is to not really care about other people and how they want you to behave because they judge you no matter what. All women in general when they watch this will feel empowered and do what they wish to do and whatever makes them happy. And at last, I would wish all the women out there a very happy Women’s Day.”
