The recent Kerala Floods that nearly derailed the southernmost state of our country has caused two diverse reactions from the rest of the country. There were, of course, people coming out in support of those affected by the floods in the state and helping them out either through voluntary aid work or by donating supplies and money to the Cheif Minister's Relief Fund. There have been celebs like Shah Rukh Khan, Kangana Ranaut, Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Sonam Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and others who have donated generously for the cause.

And there is the second type of vicious kind who have used the tragedy to promote their own hateful thinking. There were many right-wing supporters who called the floods as God's curse to Kerala for eating beef, cow slaughter and even for thinking of allowing women in Sabari Mala temple. Unfortunately, there are some celebs who are of this opinion. Like actress and former Bigg Boss contestant Payal Rohatgi. Check out what she has to say about Kerala floods in one of her latest tweets -

This is exactly the sentiment of many of the RW trolls. Naturally, Payal, who is engaged to wrestler Sangram Singh, has been slammed by many of Twitter, who are also curious as to why she posted her own picture with the tweet, instead of a cow.

Will she or will she not?

America, you are next as per Ms Rohatgi's tweet!

Ouch!

The dangerous trend

Now, who can answer this? Hmm...

Burn!

Valid question

Logic toh banta hai!

However, Payal has been unfazed by the criticism she has been getting on social media, as she put out more tweets justifying her stand.

Now everyone has a right to speak their minds, but we do hope that there should be some sense and responsibility in what they sa. If not, at least learn the science in knowing how natural calamities happen. But if your interest is in spreading hate and gaining political mileage, well, we don't have anything else to say, except 'Get Well Soon'!
