Actor Sonakshi Sinha has announced a replacement campaign against cyber bullying and online harassment.
The actor has teamed up with Special IGP of the Maharashtra Police and Mission Josh for the campaign, #FullStopToCyberBullying.

The 33-year-old actor also posted a video where she talks about how people are subjected to trolling through fake accounts and their pictures are misused.
She said people often hide behind their computer screens and abuse others on social media.
“Many people have fallen victims to such trolls. I’m one among them. But I even have decided – Ab bas. Now there’ll be a period to cyber bullying and online trolling,” Sonakshi said.
