Mumbai: Director, producer and talk show host Simi Garewal penned a bizarre note for Ravan on the occasion of Dussehra on Thursday.
In the note shared on her X handle, Simi praised Ravan and called him more educated than our parliament.
She set tongues wagging by claiming that Ravan was not evil but slightly naughty.
“Dear Ravana… Every year, on this day, we celebrate the victory of good over evil.. But.. technically.. your behaviour should be re-classified from ‘Evil’ to ‘Slightly Naughty’. After all, tumne kiya hi kya tha? I agree you kidnapped a lady in haste… But.. after that.. you gave her more respect than we normally give to women in today’s world. You offered her good food.. shelter.. and even women security guards (not too good looking though). Your request for marriage was full of humility.. and you never threw acids when rejected. Even when Lord Rama killed you.. you were wise enough to seek his apologies,” she wrote.
“And.. I believe you were more educated than half of our Parliament. Trust me dude.. there ain’t no any hard feelings to burn you…Just that it’s the In-Thing. Happy Dussera 💥,” Simi added.
As soon as her post went viral, netizens started trolling her for praising Ravan, who had abducted Sita and is considered as evil by the Hindus, and demanded an apology.
“Dear Simi Garewal, The moment he abducts you, all this romanticism will evaporate and you would be sitting in Police station crying attempt to rape & slamming the cops if they say “bas apaharan hi to Kiya hai shaadi karna chah raha hai behen” Ain’t no hard feelings for you but you have lost your mind,” a netizen wrote.
Taking a dig at Simi, another user said, “Lag rha Ravan ji ki bhi PR agency hai😭.”
“So if someone abducts you without your consent and treats you well in captivity then it will not be evil but just naughty? Girl what kind of kinks do you have at this age??” one person commented.
Dear Ravana…
