Stars slammed for Maldives pictures
Bollywood stars got a stern rap on their knuckles yesterday for posting decadent pictures of their beach holidays on exotic islands as their own country is being crippled by a second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, evne as the death toll surges.
Celebrity talent manager Rohini Iyer, who handles the accounts of prominent stars such as Kareena Kapoor Khan, Katrina Kaif and Rajkummar Rao, posted a scathing note telling off stars for being such ‘insensitive idiots’. Her acidic post, lauded by the majority for its perfect timing, was in all capital letters to denote her fury at their collective tone-deaf attitudes. “For all of you vacationing in Maldives and Goa and exotic locales, remember it’s a holiday for you. It’s a [expletive] pandemic all over. So don’t be an insensitive idiot and post pictures of your privileged life. You are not only coming across as brainless, but also completely blind and tone dead,” posted Iyer on her Instagram Story.
Iyer also cautioned them not to view the pandemic as a time to boost their social media following.
Recently, a galaxy of prominent actors across all ages and body types have been posting pictures of their bikini-perfect bodies. Actors including Alia Bhatt, Disha Patani, Shraddha Kapoor, Janhvi Kapoor and Tiger Shroff have been proudly flaunting their gleaming sun-kissed bodies for their fans.
“This is the time to step up and help or if you can’t do anything, then shut up and stay home! Or Stay quiet in your holiday home … Masked up. No photos. This is not Fashion Week …,” wrote Iyer.
