Bollywood celebrities have made a beeline for Maldives ever since the second wave of coronavirus engulfed India. Social media is full of holidaying celebrities posing in beachwear. Needless to say, they have received a lot of flak back home for flaunting their privileges while their countrymen suffer.
The latest to criticise them is actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui. “These entertainment celebrities posting vacation pictures at a time when the world is reeling under the worst recession. …Logon ke pass khana nahin hai aur aap paise phenk rahe ho. Kuch toh sharm karo (People don’t have food and you are wasting money, have some shame),” he told Bollywood Hungama in an interview.
The actor also said that the celebs are posting about their vacation because they have nothing worthwhile to talk about. “What else will they talk about? Acting? They will run out of steam in two minutes. In logon ne Maldives ko tamasaha bana rakha hai. I don’t know what their arrangement is with the tourism industry. But for the sake of humanity, please keep these vacations to yourself. There is suffering everywhere. The cases of Covid are multiplying. Have a heart. Please don’t taunt those who are suffering,” he told Bollywood Hungama.
The actor also insisted that he had no plans to go for a vacation anywhere. He prefers to remain in his hometown, Budhana with his family. “That’s my Maldives,’ he said.
