I DON’T REGRET CALLING OUT THE DEMONIC ACT: MOUNI ON FAKE DRUGS BEING SOLD

Mouni Roy expresses her dismay over people insensitively exploiting Covid-19 patients with overpriced fake drugs

As the country is reeling under the second wave of the pandemic, cases of manufacture and sale of fake drugs to cure Covid-19 has dramatically shot up. Early this month, Mouni Roy took to social media to share a video of the same and expressed her anger over those who are exploiting patients at their time of need.

“…This is intentional, premeditated evil unleashed on countless vulnerable people. Instead of a life saving medication, these scum mixed salt and glucose and selling the doses for 5000/- a piece…” the caption read.

Still dismayed and harrowed with the incident, she says, “When I wrote it, I was angry and sad. I couldn’t stop crying. I couldn’t fathom how people can be so insensitive at a time when so many people are losing their lives!”

But Roy is quick to point out that she doesn’t regret calling out the “demonic act” on a public forum. “The reason for some patients’ health deteriorating or dying is because of these fake vials. Now is the time to give some ray of hope to those in peril. Later on, I thought I could have been less harsh but I don’t regret putting it out because I merely expressed what I felt,” she asserts.

Upset about the negativity around, she says, “Most days, I wake up to bad news of someone close being admitted in the hospital or when I talk to my friends, I hear the frequent sound of the ambulance siren. It is the worst situation the country has been in.”

Recently, the Made In China (2019) actor donated oxygen cylinders to patients battling with Covid. “Our country is in need of so much more and this was the least that I could do. Anything we do is less but I’m definitely looking forward to doing more,” Roy ends.
