From their film promotions and fashion choices to participation in social and political campaigns, Bollywood folk have been using social media to their advantage. It is not only an easy medium to connect with their fans, friends and colleagues, but also allows them the freedom to voice their opinions on personal as well as public issues. Unlike in traditional media, there's none to moderate their views and they don't have any guidelines to follow. Often, it becomes the go-to platform to vent one grievances, level allegations and also wage a verbal duel.

At a promotional interview for his upcoming sex comedy 'Hunterrr', Anurag Kashyap (right) was quoted as saying, "I don't like 'Masti' (directed by Milap Zaveri)... I wouldn't watch it on cable or for free."

Writer-director Milap Zaveri is a case in point. He lashed out at Anurag Kashyap on Twitter for alleged comments on his sex comedies 'Masti' and 'Grand Masti'. Kashyap was quoted during a promotional interview as saying, "I don't like 'Masti', and I won't watch it also. I wouldn't watch it on cable or for free, not even if someone paid me Rs 5 crore." Milap accused Kashyap of having "double standards" as the latter's co-production 'Hunterrr' is also a sex comedy and took many digs at his films.
