Celebrities are often trolled and abused on social media. However, sometimes things take a steep turn. Hate sometimes comes in extreme forms like death threats. The latest ones to fall victim to this are Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal.

Mumbai Police has arrested the man who was sending death threats to Vicky and Katrina. Turns out, the man named Manvinder Singh is an aspiring actor who is also a great fan of Katrina Kaif. He reportedly said that he wanted to marry Katrina and hence he was troubling her on social media.
In 2010 as well, Katrina Kaif was stalked by a fan who in his 20s for about eight to nine months.
He even reached her home and told her security that Katrina had invited her. He would follow her to the events. When Katrina recognised her, she alerted her security.
She has said in an interview, "He was the same guy who had come to my house. He keeps following me and reached the multiplex this time. The police warned him to stay away, but he doesn¡¯t understand. I don¡¯t know what he wants. It¡¯s terribly disturbing".
However, she refused to file a Police complaint against him.
