Popular television couple, Gurmeet Choudhary and Debina Bonnerjee tied the knot in 2011. After 11 years of marital bliss, they embraced parenthood for the first time in April 2022 with the arrival of their first child, Lianna. Later, Gurmeet and Debina were blessed with their second child, Divisha, in November 2022. Now, the family of four has been winning hearts with the adorable glimpses of their wonderful life together.
Gurmeet Choudhary and Debina Bonnerjee often share snippets of their personal lives with their fans and followers on social media. However, they receive negative comments from a section of people on social media, targeting their kids, Lianna and Divisha. In an interview with the Hindustan Times, Gurmeet opened up about the trolls targeting his kids and mentioned that it is a result of him being a public figure. In his words:
“When we are an actor and public figure, your life is not just yours… We make it public. We are working for all the people, and to get their love. It was our decision to get into this profession and become public figures. We wanted to be stars. And living a public life, open to all, is the negative side that comes with that sphere.”

Gurmeet mentioned that he never thought that his kids, Lianna and Divisha, would have to bear the brunt of his fame, but now he has learnt to deal with it. Talking about the same, he mentioned that a small section of the online community often drops negative comments on his posts for him and his family. However, the actor focuses more on positivity. In his words:
“We have learned how to tackle the negativity. When it comes to our social media presence, 80-85 percent is filled with good and positive stuff, and 5 percent of the people troll us and our kids. But we can’t do anything about it. Most often we try to overlook the negative stuff and focus on the positive things being written about us. We focus on the love that we get, and ignore the negativity aimed towards me and my family."
Further in the interview, Gurmeet shared that not just his kids, but he is also at the receiving end of trolls many times. However, he has started ignoring the hatred and focusing on the positive feedback he gets from his fans. Talking about the same, Gurmeet shared that he prefers to skip the negative comments and never reacts to trolling. In his words:
“I don’t react to trolling. When I feel that someone is intentionally picking on me on social media, I skip that comment. I want to focus on the good comments on social media, and that is something that I practise. My focus is always on the good and positive comments, and comments from the critics talking about my work. The intention is to know how I am going and how I can mend the way to get better in my craft. I ignore trolls completely.”
