The Viral Post on Ravan
Taking to her official X (formerly Twitter) account, Simi Garewal wrote an unusual message about Ravan. She claimed that his behavior should be “reclassified” from evil to slightly mischievous. In her post, she argued:
- Ravan kidnapped a woman in haste but treated her with respect.
- He provided her with food, shelter, and female guards.
- His marriage proposal was humble, and unlike today’s crimes, he never resorted to acid attacks after rejection.
- Even in death, he displayed wisdom by apologizing to Lord Ram.
Simi concluded by wishing her followers Happy Dussehra with a striking line: “Honestly, burning you feels bitter… that’s all.”
Netizens React With Anger
Her post immediately went viral, drawing sharp criticism. Many users accused her of misrepresenting the epic Ramayana and glorifying a negative character. Within hours, Simi became the target of massive trolling on both Twitter and Instagram. The backlash eventually forced her to delete the post.
