Now, as the second wave of COVID 19 virus is approaching the country, another set of celebrities from Indian cinema have visited the island to chill. Many people who are following such celebrities in social media felt that they are acting irresponsible and they are not alone as singer cum actress Shruthi Haasan also have expressed similar opinion.

In a recent interview with the Quint, Shruthi reportedly said that flaunting one’s privilege during such a distressing time is not responsible behaviour. “Glad they had a great holiday, they deserved it. I did not personally feel it was a time to go maskless in a pool. It has been a tough time for everyone and for some people much more. I think gratitude and being thankful for privileges is what is most important to know versus throwing your privileges in people’s faces,” Shruthi Haasan said according to reports.

Now, in a way of referring the incident, Shruthi said ““I was really thankful to go back to work. There were some teams which were extremely responsible and careful. And then there was “one” basically that wasn’t. And I never forgot that we are still in a pandemic. Now it is easy to say ‘oh we’re still in a pandemic’. But, I knew this three months ago. People thought that I was crazy, a psycho aunty yelling all the time. I was always on the edge about it and I don’t think many people appreciated it,” Shruthi said.
