Manjima recently shut down a person, who made derogatory comments about actresses and their clothes on Twitter.
"My father felt proud about what I did. He actually called and appreciated me after reading the news on the web. I have been receiving a lot of good comments daily and a few, of course, would pass nasty remarks. But, that statement projected the entire industry in a bad light. That's why I decided to hit back," Manjima told PTI.
"You have to talk to fans to know their likes and consider it. Because they are the ones, who are going to come and support you. So, when I talk to them, I get to know what they expect from me, and I work on it. Some people are very rude, and if they cross the limit, I do react to it."
Manjima is currently awaiting the release of Tamil film "Sathriyan", which is slated to hit screens this Friday.

Heaping praises on her co-star Vikram Prabhu, Manjima says, "He is a hard-working person. He comes from a very big family but is down-to-earth and makes everybody comfortable. He is a great human being and a director's actor."
In her other film "Ippadai Vellum", directed by Gaurav Narayanan, Manjima co-stars alongside actor-producer Udhayanidhi Stalin.
From her acclaimed debut in Malayalam with "Oru Vadakkan Selfie" till now, Manjima has been choosing girl-next-door characters and the actress says she is comfortable doing such roles.
"I would never play a showing-off kind of character. There is a thin line between being glamorous and showing off. I would never 'expose' for any of my roles."
"I would be happy to associate with the filmmakers there. Now, they all think I charge a hefty paycheck since I have begun working in Tamil and Telugu film industries. But, I don't. Malayalam is my mother tongue, and I would love to work there.
