If we have learned anything from the past two decades with the emergence of social media, it is that the platform holds immense power to make or break someone, irrespective of  whether you are a regular Joe or a celebrity. And while many may have succumbed to the booby traps of instant fame, there are some who slayed such demons.

From being trolled for her risqué take on fashion to now being recognised by some of the biggest names including designer duo Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla and major publications in the fashion industry, Javed has moved past her trolls.

But while the star is embracing her newfound adulation, the sudden change in the stance of those who previously slandered her is interesting. Why do we as a society view confident and incendiary personalities like Javed as troublemakers?
