Currently, Alia Bhatt, boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, Janhvi Kapoor, rumoured couple Tiger Shroff, and Disha Patani are all in the Maldives.
Author Shobhaa De had a loud and clear message for everyone who have been holidaying in exotic regions like the Maldives and have been sharing photos of it on their social media accounts. In a long note via an Instagram post, Shobha stated how it was not the right thing to do during a pandemic.
The note was originally written and posted by Rohini Iyer on her Instagram stories, a few days back.
Sharing the same, Shobhaa wrote, "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 the 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."
As for the note, it 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 home. Or stay quiet in your holiday home... masked up. No photos. This is not fashion week or Kingfisher calendar time!"
In the recent past, several Bollywood celebrities have landed up in the Maldives for a holiday. Currently, Alia Bhatt, along with her boyfriend Ranbir Kapoor, Sara Ali Khan, and her mother Amrita Singh, Janhvi Kapoor with her friends, rumoured couple Disha Patani and Tiger Shroff are all in the Maldives.
On the home front, India has been critically affected by the second wave of COVID-19, with a staggering rise in number of cases reported everyday.
