It’s disgusting the kind of insinuating jokes and memes people are making after Amitabh Bachchan tested COVID-19 positive and Rekha’s security guard did too.
The latest addition to the list of COVID-19 affected people is the legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan and his son Abhishek Bachchan.
Yesterday through a twitter update Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan informed the world that they have been tested COVID-19 positive and have been safely shifted to a hospital.

Soon after this ‘Rekha‘ started trending on Twitter on a completely different and bizarre note.
Earlier, the veteran actor’s security guard had tested COVID-19 positive, and a BMC notice was pasted outside her residence. NDTV reported that the actress’s bungalow was sealed. As soon as the news of Bachchan testing positive was announced, social media users made Rekha one of the top trends on Twitter along with Amitabh and Abhishek.
Why? Because as humans we have lost all sensitivity!
Now everyone knows that Rekha and Amitabh Bachchan have a past that never got a proper closure or acceptance from both the stars.
Owing to this, the two different and unrelated incidents have got people into a tizzy, making insensitive memes about the two, making nasty insinuations.

Getting affected by the CoronaVirus is a grave issue, especially at the age, these stars are now. Not just physically, but the disease also affects the person mentally. Instead of understanding the gravity of the issue, making memes and jokes at this time to troll a person just shows how low we have gotten in terms of sensitivity.
Not just Rekha, right now memes are being made even about Jaya Bachchan. Some meme-makers got so low that they have made memes about ‘Jaya not satisfying Amitabh hence he still visits Rekha’.

Like seriously! I mean what Amitabh, Rekha and Jaya Bachchan do in their life is their private matter.
It’s not fair to make fun of these women and call it ‘content’. This disgusting behaviour is just like actors Rhea Chakroborty and Kriti Sanon were trolled earlier for not showing their grief publicly on the death of Sushant Singh Rajput.
We as a society need to start minding our own business. Which celebrity is visiting whose house, who are they dating? Who are they grieving about? These should not be anyone else’s business. And certainly not use this as fodder for making ‘content’.

Earlier my husband would say, 'Arey! What is there in making dal-roti? It's so simple.' After he had to cook everyday when I was ill, he has stopped saying that to me!
“Arey! What is there to do in making dal roti? Put a handful of lentils in the cooker and let it whistle and make two rotis. After all, how long will it take?” A handful of dal (lentils) and two rotis! This is the story of every woman and no one seems to understand.
Some time ago, after a shopping spree, my husband and I entered the house, exhausted. I had just about kept all the bags aside, when my husband said, “I am very hungry, can you make something.”
I looked at my husband in amazement and thought, ‘He had just had food, how did he get hungry again so soon?’
My husband, as if he had read my face, said, “Arey! You know that my stomach is not filled with outside food. Just make dal roti. What is there to do in making dal roti? Put a handful of lentils in the cooker and let it whistle and make two rotis. After all, how long will it take?”
‘Is this the way dal (lentils) and roti are made?’ The thought came to my mind. ‘After all, I also went along and now I am tired too.’ I was also getting angry at myself that after all, I had spoiled the habit of everyone in the house.
Nirmala disconnected, and turned to speak to Amma. But she was long gone. Once more, the poor kitchen utensils were bearing the brunt of Amma’s temper.
The Muse of the Month is a monthly writing contest organised by Women’s Web, bringing you original fiction inspired by women.
Ujwala Shenoy Karmarkar is one of the winners for the October 2021 Muse of the Month, and wins a Rs 750 Amazon voucher from Women’s Web. The juror for this month, Himanjali Sankar commented, “The age-old connection between a mother and daughter is explored poignantly through an exasperated love, which is often seemingly angry and impatient, that a daughter feels for her mother and the way she comes to make peace with it. A story set in Covid times that puts us in touch with the importance of love, connections and gratitude in a non-preachy, very real way.”
Nirmala grimaced as she picked up her cup of tea. It was cold and had a greasy film over it. Her class had lasted two hours, and she had been talking continuously for most of it. Her back was aching and her throat was sore.
Amitabh Bachchan recently seemingly 'complimented' the IMF Chief Gita Gopinath. But the comment only showed our sexist beliefs about women.
Amitabh Bachchan recently seemingly ‘complimented’ the IMF Chief Gita Gopinath. But the comment only showed our sexist beliefs about women.
On his TV show Kaun Banega Crorepati, the host Amitabh Bachchan asked a question to a contestant about IMF Chief Gita Gopinath. Her picture was displayed on the big screen and the contestant was supposed to answer the question, “The economist seen in this picture has been the chief economist of which organisation since 2019?”
Following this question, Amitabh Bachchan said, “Her face is so beautiful that no one can relate her to the economy.” While IMF Chief Gita Gopinath was flattered by the comment, a lot of people weren’t.
The comment may have been made in good spirits but only showed our sexist beliefs. It reinforced the age-old belief that women can either be beautiful or intelligent and that the two can’t co-exist.
Gulabo Sitabo. The Awadhi mannerisms, the language, the stares, everything is spot on! Scene after scene you are left for asking more.
Some movies make you feel you are not alone in the world and that other people have felt the same emotions you are feeling. Some other times, a movie makes you experience a world where the actions of the characters seem to speak to something distinctly familiar even though the world they inhabit is quite different from our own.
Gulabo Sitabo has brought out both the emotions in me at the same time. I wanted to watch this movie at leisure without any disturbance like the sweet you love should be devoured slowly. I knew I would love this movie because it is from the same team who gave us Piku.
I assumed that Gulabo Sitabo were the names given to the characters played by Amitabh Bachchan and Ayushmann Khurrana but I was wrong. It was a nice way to open the story with the puppet show which shows us the constant bickering of the puppets and relate it to the movie.
