<h5>Prachi Nigam - UP board topper!</h5><p>Meet Prachi Nigam, an Uttar Pradesh (UP) board student who has topped the UP board class 10 exam. She secured a fantastic 98.50% marks in her exams.</p><p>Prachi worked hard to achieve her outstanding results and has made everyone (including us) proud of her. This should be the best time of her life.</p><p>Alas! She was trolled by a large number of people on the internet.</p><h5>Oh no! Why was she trolled?</h5><div class="raw-html-embed"><figure> <iframe width="100%" height="350" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uO74cowfpZc" title="UP Board Topper Prachi Nigam ने खुद की ट्रोलिंग पर क्या कहा?

Video by BBC News Hindi.</figcaption></figure></div><p>Prachi Nigam has some facial hair. Nothing wrong with that. All our bodies are different, and facial hair is totally natural. However, cruel people on the internet made fun of the brilliant kid for her appearance! ????</p><p>In an interview, Prachi said she wished she hadn't come first since it would have saved her from being trolled. It’s just so sad that people could not see beyond her appearance!</p><p>Still, Prachi responded to her trolls, saying that their insults do not affect her because what matters to her is her academics, not her looks (you go, girl!). Many people have also supported her.</p><h5>Trolling anyone is terrible!</h5><p>We must not make fun of others based on their appearance, religion, culture, etc. Trolling people might seem fun, but it affects the person getting trolled.</p><p>Trolling and cyberbullying can have <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.newsahoot.com/articles/cyberbullying-claims-the-life-of-a-teen">long-term effects</a> on mental health. &nbsp;It can cause the person to feel humiliated and even cause anxiety and depression.</p><p>Remember, our words have the power to make people happy or even hurt them. So, instead of making cruel comments, let us spread happiness and help each other, regardless of our differences.</p><p>We must also learn to ignore such people who troll others and focus on ourselves.</p><h5>Company publishes controversial ad.</h5><figure class="image"><img src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/newsahoot.appspot.com/o/up-board-topper-trolled-online%2FBSC%20Ad.jpg?alt=media&amp;token=8f34aa56-5c93-480e-a993-b4c89c4e71b3"><figcaption>The ad by Bombay Shaving Company. Photo by Hindustan Times.</figcaption></figure><p>The Bombay Shaving Company (BSC) published an ad in an act of showing support for Prachi Nigam after she was trolled.</p><p>But, the company was criticised by many, as they pointed out that instead of addressing the trolling, the brand appears to have used the girl's identity to advertise their razors.</p><p>People say BSC doesn’t care about Prachi, and the ad focuses more on her facial hair than the issues related to trolling. This ad highlights how opportunistic some companies are and what lengths they can go to earn money.</p>
