Kavach – Mahashivaratri fame Deepika Singh, who is also an accomplished dancer was recently trolled after she shared a dancing video video with uprooted tress in the background during cyclone Tauktae. She also shared some pictures of her posing with uprooted trees.
A netizen commented on her post, “People are dying due to the cyclone and you are enjoying this. What a shame,” after Deepika had posted pictures on May 17.
In an interview with BT Deepika revealed the real reason behind sharing those pictures. She said, “I live in a flat, which is on the ground floor. This was a tree that we had planted many years ago outside our house, which unfortunately fell during the cyclone. The tree fell on our car and so my husband Rohit and I stepped out in the rains to move it from the car. During that time my husband thought of clicking a few pictures. It was just something we did spontaneously. My husband is a good photographer, so we just clicked a few pictures.”
She further added, “I am sad for all those who were affected due to the cyclone and I didn’t mean to be insensitive by posing near an uprooted tree. I would not encourage anyone to do something like that.”
These pandemic times have been very tough for everyone. Talking about the year that has gone by, she said, “The last one year has been terrible for all of us and people are going through the worst. We have also lost many people during the pandemic and the cyclone made it worse. The entire year, I have hardly stepped out and these pictures were just taken to make a memory of how we managed to save our car and remove the tree.”
