Most Trolled Celebrities of 2025 — And Why They Faced Online Heat

In the digital age, fame comes with a price tag—and in 2025, that price often includes public trolling, online hate, and social media backlash. As fans, followers, and critics grow more vocal than ever, even the biggest stars find themselves under the harsh spotlight of public opinion.

From controversial statements and failed projects to relationship dramas and fashion flops, here are the most trolled celebrities of 2025—and the reasons behind the online storm.

Alia Bhatt

Despite a powerful performance in Jigra, Alia Bhatt has faced heavy trolling in 2025 for her continued favoritism narrative and alleged “overexposure.”

Why she was trolled:

• Accusations of being a product of nepotism resurfaced when she was cast in a major pan-India project over regional actresses.
• Her PR team was accused of overhyping small wins, creating a disconnect with the audience.
• Trolled for constantly appearing in “airport looks” or sponsored reels with excessively curated captions.

Social Media Reaction:
“Why is she in every brand ad now? Give someone else a chance.”

Kartik Aaryan

Kartik Aaryan has enjoyed immense popularity post-Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2, but 2025 brought a wave of criticism after two of his films underperformed at the box office.

Why he was trolled:

• Critics say he’s playing the same “lover boy” role repeatedly with no evolution.
• Social media mocked his dialogues and expressions, creating a meme trend: “Kartik acting range = 1 face, 5 angles.”
• He was also ridiculed for claiming he rejected a big YRF project, which fans later found exaggerated.

Disha Patani

Disha’s ultra-glam appearances and bold fashion choices often go viral—but in 2025, netizens called her out for being “too extra” and trying hard to stay in the limelight.

Why she was trolled:

• Accused of “trying to become the next Urfi Javed” with bizarre outfit choices.
• Targeted for her lack of acting projects but frequent red carpet and Instagram appearances.
• Rumored relationship teasers with co-stars led to trolling for “fake PR dating.”

Justin Bieber

Justin’s return to music in 2025 wasn’t welcomed by everyone. Despite releasing a new album, fans criticized him for being “out of touch” with the current pop scene.

Why he was trolled:

• Accusations of using AI vocals in his songs.
• A now-viral interview quote where he said, “I don’t listen to Gen Z music—it’s too immature,” triggered major backlash.
• Fans also accused him of being rude to Hailey Bieber during a live stream.

Urfi Javed

Urfi continues to rule Instagram with her DIY fashion, but the audience is starting to show signs of troll fatigue.

Why she was trolled:

• Her recent “tissue saree” and “hair glue dress” were called out for attention-seeking and promoting “vulgarity in the name of fashion.”
• Faced backlash after claiming she’s more “influential than most actresses.”
• Some users called her recent music video “cringe bait with zero talent.”

Kanye West

Kanye, now known as Ye, remains in headlines for all the wrong reasons in 2025.

Why he was trolled:

• A podcast rant where he said, “AI is the real God now,” went viral for all the wrong reasons.
• Criticized for not paying his music collaborators.
• Fans of Taylor Swift reignited their feud after Kanye’s leaked track included disrespectful lyrics again targeting her.

Influencer Couple Armaan Malik & His Wives – “Too Much Content?”

Armaan Malik (not the singer) and his polygamous lifestyle with two wives continued to create social media noise. But in 2025, the audience finally seems exhausted.

Why they were trolled:

• Posted a baby delivery vlog with clickbait titles like “Shocking Reaction of First Wife” that users slammed as “exploiting childbirth for views.”
• Multiple reels showing “fight for attention” among the wives led to criticism for glorifying toxicity.
• Accused of promoting unhealthy family values to a younger audience.

Jhanvi Kapoor

Despite starring in two films this year, Jhanvi Kapoor faced trolling for her “plastic expressions” and a viral meme calling her “Face Card but No Dialogue Delivery.”

Why she was trolled:

• Netizens mocked her heavy makeup and “frozen smile” during interviews.
• A viral paparazzi clip where she appeared disconnected and robotic drew ridicule.
• Accused of being more focused on brand endorsements and photo shoots than acting.

Salman Khan

Even Bhai isn’t safe from the trolls. After yet another action-packed but underwhelming film, social media called for his retirement from lead roles.

Why he was trolled:

• Memes flooded in saying “Same movie, different shirt.”
• A viral gym video where he appeared exhausted sparked comments like “Time to rest, Bhaijaan.”
• Criticized for not giving screen space to younger talent.

The Dark Side of Fandom: Why Trolling is on the Rise

In 2025, the line between constructive criticism and online bullying has blurred. Here’s why trolling has become more frequent:

• Cancel culture is at an all-time high.
• AI and deepfakes spread misinformation faster than facts.
• Fan wars between fandoms are creating toxic echo chambers.
• Audiences feel entitled to control celebrity behavior, due to excessive online access.

Being in the spotlight is no longer just about red carpets and applause. In the age of virality, one wrong move can spark a thousand memes. While some celebrities handle trolling with grace, others find it difficult to cope with the digital hate.

It’s essential to remember that behind the fame are real people, and while criticism is valid, cruelty is not.
