“This was me trying to get myself together after shedding two tears over three mean comments,” said Hania while sharing a picture of herself.

“Words are powerful. They can create and destroy. Why use them to knock people down when you can use them to lift each other up,” she questioned.

“Being mean is easy and weak and projection of your own fears and insecurities. Use your words wisely,” she added.

Earlier in an interview, Mawra Hocane had also talked about being attacked and criticised on social media.

“I am getting used to it now, but six years ago it was very difficult,” said the actor. “Like, if I am giving an interview right now, it is possible that I may say something wrong. But I realised five years ago that anything wrong that comes out of your mouth is no longer wrong when it reaches social media, it becomes a sin.”

“You can’t even think about making a mistake, because you have been placed on a pedestal where you can’t say anything wrong. So the first time this hit me I was like, I want to stop using it. I want to stop acting and I just want to leave. And I actually went to Sydney and told my parents ‘I don’t want to do this anymore,’” she shared.

“I told my parents people here want to kill me because I said something wrong. And even today I don’t want to defend myself, I am scared of it. I say ‘you know what? I am wrong! But are you really going to take my life for it?’” she questioned.

Mawra further shared that the fear has never left her which is why she prefers to play it safe in her interviews and has started opting for giving standard responses.
