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.
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’.

Paromita advises all women to become financially independent, keep levelling up and have realistic expectations from life and relationships.
Heartfelt, emotional, and imaginative, Paromita Bardoloi’s use of language is fluid and so dreamlike sometimes that some of her posts border on the narration of a fable.
Her words have the power to touch the reader while also delivering some hard hitting truths. Paromita has no pretences in her writing and uses simple words which convey a wealth of meaning in the tradition of oral storytellers – no wonder, Paro is a much loved author on Women’s Web.

I watched a Tamil movie Kadaisi Vivasayi (The Last Farmer), recommended by my dad, on SonlyLiv, and many times over again since my first watch. If not for him, I’d have had no idea what I would have missed. What a piece of relevant and much needed art this movie is!
It is about an old farmer in a village (the only indigenous farmer left), who walks the path of trouble, quite unexpectedly, and tries to come out of it. I have tried my best to refrain from leaving spoilers, for I want the readers to certainly catch up on this masterpiece of director Manikandan (of Kakka Muttai fame).
The movie revolves around the farmer who goes about doing his everyday chores, sweeping his mud-house first thing in the morning, grazing the cows, etc and living a simple but contented life. He is happy doing his thing, until he invites trouble for himself out of the blue, primarily because he is illiterate and ignorant.
