Kim Kardashian is not the only celebrity who has been called out recently for being insensitive and showcasing her ‘privilege’ on social media. When the country is reeling under the effects of the second wave of coronavirus outbreak, the actress is currently in Goa with her fiancé Maneck Contractor. The actress took to social media to share a video from the city that screamed of privilege amid the rising COVID-10 cases in the country and impending lockdown in several states.
Taking to Twitter, Pooja posted a video which she captioned as, “Life is meant to be lived...not spent caged and masked for a year/ years in fear of a virus that's clearly not going away! If you died tomorrow after year of masking/lockdown.. what would ur greatest regret be?” Pooja’s tweet did not go down well with many users, one of whom commented saying, “Ma'am people are dying of covid complications every day. check your privilege. God bless you."
Joys of living in healthy, happy #goa .
Free your mind #NoFear

My biggest regret would be not slapping covidiots so hard that they end up in another dimension

Goa is not healthy. It has the highest positivity rate in the country. I live here too and this type of irreverence and irresponsibility is why most locals hate non Goans who relocate. This is crazy bananas.

Not letting a virus “cage” you. BITCH PEOPLE ARE DYING, HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS EXHAUSTED, HEALTHCARE WORKERS ARE EXHAUSTED, PEOPLE ARE DYING, PEOPLE ARE LOSING EVERY. GODDAM. THING. And selfish rich fucks like you are just too singleminded to see that it’s not just you but others-

The privilege of having money and good connections with doctors (which btw a lot of people don't have) in case anything were to happen to you or your family.
