Trolls are taking a dig at Bollywood actress Swara Bhaskar who unknowingly amplified an SOS tweet for "Slidenaphil", which turns out to be Viagra meds used to treat impotence or erectile dysfunction.
On Wednesday, Swara reposted the SOS tweet of a netizen asking for help in arranging for Slidenaphil for their friend. She retweeted that request on her post, sparking a troll fest.

As trolls bashed the actress, assuming her to be unknowingly tweeting this, Swara's fans have come out in her defence and shared that Slidenaphil was originally used to treat pulmonary arterial hypertension. And that Slidenaphil is the chemical name for Viagra.
Leaving netizens divided, her fans hit out at trolls and said that she was only fulfilling her moral responsibility by amplifying the SOS requests to help arrange for medicine for those in need. Hence, "people trolling & doing such pranks should know the graveness of the situation".
Some also speculated that it was actually a prank to trap the actress, who has been vocal about sociopolitical issues, including controversial farm laws.

Most of us troll her for her propagandas,BUT this viagra request doesn’t deserve trolling
Though hate Swara but have to say Sildenafil nowadays has moved over from just being Viagra to being a life-saving drug as in pulmonary hypertension .

Sildenafil is one of the drug used in treatment of pulmonary hypertension. Pulmonary hypertension is a frequent complication of COVID also. Swara could've given a solid rebuttal if she was intelligent enough.
