Saddened by hate for my photoshoot: Gina Rodriguez

"Jane The Virgin" star Gina Rodriguez says her heart is "saddened" by the hate she received after she shared her People en Espanol magazine cover shoot.
The 31-year-old actress received a number of negative comments, for the photoshoot and she has now hit back at her critics, in an Instagram post, reported Female First.
"You know what saddens my heart, is when you try and celebrate an accomplishment with those that have helped you achieve it and no matter what, someone, anyone, has something negative to say.
"Whether it was from the way my toes curled under to the way I typed my spanish. We desire to project our own insecurities and hatred on another. When did we decide social media was for hating, for putting others down rather than lifting them up. (sic)," she wrote.

The actress also asked for people to consider how their words affected others.
"I refuse to participate in that kind of world. Before you write a comment today on anyone's picture or anyone's page ask yourself would you want others to say that about yourself? What am I getting out of being mean to another person I have never met?
"Yesterday I shared my joy for the cover of @peopleenespanol and I was blown away at the immediate hate projected on my page. My question to you today is this, do you know the power you have in this world and do you desire to use it for good? I do. #NoToKeyboardCourage. (sic)," she said.
