MUMBAI: Gajraj Rao, an actor, has never shied away from sharing his opinions on social media. The actor posted a satirical message on Instagram, criticizing the hypocrisy of people reacting to violent crimes in society by posting selfies and peaceful scenes on the platform and then removing themselves from the situation for a short while. His post is in the midst of Kolkata's horrifying PG doctor murder-rape case.

Sharing a thought provoking note in both Hindi and English, Rao shared, “Dear Insta friends, a question has been bothering me for a few days. I often see people posting about painful and disturbing incidents happening around us on their handles. Naturally, the purpose of such posts is to express protest, release emotions, or convey their message to like-minded people. But after a few minutes or hours of posting such things, I notice people start posting other images, beautiful vacation photos, delicious food, and sometimes selfies taken with pride. Perhaps I've done this many times too.”
He added, “his behaviour really troubles me. When we post such things, do we distance ourselves so quickly from those painful news stories that we begin posting romanticised images? Or do we want to detach ourselves from what we posted? Or is our protest merely a token protest? What do you think?”
Take a look;
