Coronavirus Scare: Kannada Actress Pranitha Subhash Receives Backlash For Promoting Religion
Pranitha Subhash, who has predominantly worked in Kannada films, has recently been trolled for promoting Hinduism on Twitter amid the Coronavirus outbreak. Well, Coronavirus has engulfed the entire world and home-quarantined Indian celebrities are spreading awareness about health and hygiene on social media. However, Pranitha's tweet has indeed created ruckus amongst many netizens.
Taking to Twitter, Pranitha wrote, "Despite the geographical proximity to China, India has very few cases per million of #Covid19. Like it or not, our habits, traditions play an important role in health and hygiene. #Hinduism ."

Well, her tweet indicates that Hinduism is the only way of life. The tweet indirectly counters other religions which according to her, don't have this cleanliness and hygiene-related stuff. Apart from her, many religious leaders also spoke along those lines and claimed that cow urine and dung can cure the deadly Coronavirus easily.
While a few people appreciated Pranitha Subhash for the tweet, others trolled her mercilessly for promoting right-wing agenda on Twitter in the name of health and hygiene.
One user wrote, "Yeah... That's true. Everyone should accept this way of Life, but not forcing to become Hindu."
