Indian columnist and novelist on Monday slammed Bollywood celebrities who are spending their vacay and sharing pictures on social media.
Sharing a note penned by Rohini iyer, Shobhaa supported her note and captioned the post as, “Hello!!! Listen up! Loved this post passionately articulated by Rohini Iyer. Wanted to share it here, and I am not good with techno stuff – Repost etc. Okay? Idea is to get her message across. Well said @rohiniiyer. It is the height of vulgarity to flaunt those ridiculous pictures. Enjoy Maldives by all means. You are blessed if you can get such a break in these bleak times. But do everyone a favour… keep it private. @rohiniyer.”
The note read, “FOR ALL OF YOU VACATIONING IN MALDIVES AND GOA AND EXOTIC LOCALES, REMEMBER, IT’S A HOLIDAY FOR YOU. IT’S A BLOODY PANDEMIC ALL OVER. SO BE DON’T BE AN INSENSITIVE IDIOT AND POST PICTURES OF YOUR PRIVILEGED LIFE. YOU’RE NOT ONLY COMING ACROSS AS BRAINLESS BUT ALSO COMPLETELY BLIND AND TONE DEAF. THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BOOST YOUR INSTAGRAM NUMBERS. THIS IS THE TIME TO STEP UP AND HELP OR IF YOU CAN’T DO ANYTHING, THEN SHUT UP AND STAY HOME1 OR STAY QUIET IN YOUR HOLIDAY HOME..MASKED UP. NO PHOTOS. THIS IS NOT FASHION WEEK OR KINGFISHER CALENDAR TIME!”
Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt and her boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor left for the Maldives on Monday after recovering from COVID-19. ‘Kedarnath’ actor Sara Ali Khan also left with her mom Amrita Singh and brother Ibrahim for the tropical island after spending an exotic vacay in snow-covered Gulmarg Kashmir.
A while ago, Disha Patani and her rumoured boyfriend Tiger Shroff also left for the Maldives.
