Soon after the post was up, the Instagram users started trolling the actress.

However, this didn't go down well with Shamita and she lashed out saying, ", “I normally ignore silly / negative comments but Ul have chosen the wrong day to type this sort of crap about a daughter who worshipped her father! So to all you ppl who ve written such nasty comments I will say only this .. I’m ashamed to have you as my followers/ fans .. pl unfollow me immediately as I do not wish to have you negative ppl with such small/ petty disgusting thinking following me ! Grow up guys n start using ur time doing better things rather than just judging ! Strive to make this world a better place by spreading some positivity .. as there’s enough negativity in the world ! This is my account I will choose what I wanto post , when I wanto ! No one has forced ul to follow me . Thankyou n godbless.”

Shilpa Shetty's father Surendra Shetty passed away on October 11, 2016, at his residence in Mumbai. Surendra was rushed to the Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, where he was declared dead. He is survived by his wife Sunanda and daughters Shilpa and Shamita.

He was seen on the small screen last year when he came on the set of dance reality TV show Jhalak Reloaded with Sunanda and Shilpa to cheer for Shamita, who was participating in the finals.
