Bhubaneswar: Soon after Rhea Chakraborty was taken into custody by NCB officials, the phrase on her t-shirt – ‘Roses are red, violets are blue, Let’s smash patriarchy, me and you’ became a slogan of sorts on social media.
While the t-shirt was a statement in itself, it was part of a campaign run by popular online clothing and accessories company, ‘The Souled Store’ to promote the campaign on sanitary napkins for rural women in India.
Also, the statement has become synonymous with the media trial of women in the lens as opposed to men.
The phrase on Rhea’s tee floated around in the online space overnight with many tweaking it to make their voices heard about the real issues concerning the country.
Here are some of the reactions:
Roses are red.
Violets are blue.

Roses are red, violets are blue…
Virus is dangerous, jobs a few…
Yet, drugs & demolition have you to your TV glued…
Tricking you into forgetting your milieu…
Remember, the joke is on you….
