Social media platform, Twitter has become a place where celebrities get trolled for their tweets or comments. Trollers have increased in recent times which forced some of the celebrities to turn off their comments section just to avoid negative comments.

Singer-composer Amaal Mallik engaged in a Twitter battle with fans of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan on Monday (August 24) afternoon. After being bullied and trolled by fans of the superstar, Amaal declared on his verified account that while he respects Salman Khan for launching him, he will not tolerate negative behavior from his fans, who he refers to as Bhaitards.

It all started with a user tagging Amaal Mallik in a tweet and wrote: "@AmaalMallik bhai be Safe...Bhai is on the way." The tweet carried a picture of Salman Khan driving a car.

Amaal replied jokingly: "Bhai is in Panvel, I'm sure he will call before coming."

An another user tweeted: "Bhai @AmaalMallik na toh me salman ka fan hun na shaurkh ka ..you are celeb i know not a big one (you try to become big by these trendings) but Maintain some dignity".

To which the singer replied: "Tried but after my mother, and female fans were abused I couldn–™t help but misbehave".

Another Salman Khan targeted Amaal by sharing some of his old tweets which were letter deleted by the singer, the user wrote: "This music composer #AmaalMallik deleted these tweets later on and these tweets show his thinking is really cheap and disgusting! Seeing these tweets from a popular celebrity like @AmaalMallik is shameful! He must be arrested by police!".

Reacting to the tweet, Amaal wrote: "You idiots only reported it lol".

Expressing support for Amaal, a user shared that he doesn't have to worry because he has talent and nobody can finish the career of a talented person.

To this, the singer replied: "Nahi Nahi, Yaha Talented Logon Ka Hi Career Khatam Hota hain, Par Chalega, Bollywood mein chaatke kaam nahi karna, na kabhi kiya hain na karenge (No no, talented people are the ones careers are finished here. But it's okay, I will never practice flattery to get work in Bollywood, I have never done that, nor will do so in future)"

A user reacting on the singer's replies to Salman fans, wrote: "@AmaalMallik amal bhai why are you doing like these, you are good music composer. Salman Khan will always support you".

Amaal replied: "Yeah but his fans needed a lesson".

As a result of Amaal's Twitter battle with Salman's fans, his name trended on Twitter throughout Monday. However, he received support from the fans of another superstar, Shah Rukh Khan.

"#AmaalMallik hammered Salman Fans and he is trending on Twitter. While Bhaitards couldn't even trend against him. This has to be one of the brutal defeats on Twitter. One Man and An SRKian. Well Done @AmaalMallik !!," tweeted an SRK fan extending support to Amaal.
