Sargun Mehta on Carry On Jatta 4: Stop online trolling, negative comments
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Actress Sargun Mehta, gearing up for the release of Carry On Jatta 4 on 26 June, has called out one habit she wants audiences to leave behind — online trolling and negative commenting. The appeal comes as the much-anticipated fourth instalment of the blockbuster Punjabi franchise prepares to hit screens.
What Sargun Said
Speaking ahead of the film's release, Sargun said: 'People should stop making negative comments or trolling online. Like they should not carry it on at all.' The statement carries a pointed irony, given the film's title literally invites audiences to reflect on what they choose to 'carry on' with.
Gippy Grewal Weighs In
Gippy Grewal, her co-star and a central figure in the franchise, echoed the sentiment while acknowledging its limits. 'This is what I would want as well. But it's not like people will stop just because we tell them to. Of course, this shouldn't happen... everyone should just do their own work,' he said. Grewal's candour reflects a broader frustration shared by many in the entertainment industry, where social media toxicity has become an occupational hazard.

What's Next
