For stars who enjoy the ride, social media is the dragon that must be trained. And for Priyanka Chopra, who has so far managed to create quite a following for herself on the internet with her selfies, the beast bared its fangs and frightened Miss PeeCee away.

The talking point is, PeeCee’s recent attempts at challenging her internet followers to ask her any question. The dare, on a networking platform, backfired, with the actress and selfstyled signer being heckled mercilessly.

Everything from her rumoured plastic surgeries, to the controversy surrounding the naming of a street after her father and even her so-called affair with Shah Rukh Khan, no topic was untouched.

PeeCee beat a hasty retreat, but not before exposing her vulnerability. This comes at a time when a certain troubled industrialist too has been mulling over the idea of using social media to counter the charges levelled against him by an irate former lover. We believe his well-meaning friends have strictly forbidden him from doing so especially after it became evident that his ex has managed to garner considerable support on the internet.
