People were quick to label this tweet as insensitive considering that right now, India is witnessing the worst outbreak of COVID-19, lockdowns are in play, people are losing on their livelihood, some are sick and some are dying.
"Not everyone can go to a beach, get a boat and just 'enjoy life'. People are struggling to get food for their families every day and here you are telling us not to wear masks and live freely. Seriously?" one person tweeted. Another one wrote, " Wow pooja you are such an entitled rich old A-hole !! The entire nation is gripped with the virus and hospitals and crematoriums are flooding. And here you are flashing your luxurious life in our faces. Hope you have to suffer the same soon."

Irresponsible people like her who come to #Goa and send out such senseless messages to other people is the reason why we need to have restrictions to control spread of covid in Goa. Stop putting the lives of innocent Goans at risk for your holiday and pleasure. Morons. https://t.co/Bq3bxn4MF6

The least a person with influence can do is not encourage others to travel when there are sudden rise in the cases. Do it for urself, if you wish to do it. There is nothing wrong with it. But why encourage and put others in danger when we know that movement need to stop ?
