Kamya Punjabi’s Tweet on Tunisha Sharma’s suicide case has not gone down well with netizens. Read on to know what she said.
Television actress Kamya Punjabi took to Twitter on Sunday and reacted to Tunisha Sharma’s suicide case. She lashed out at ‘today’s generation’ for being ‘weak’ and asked them to think of their parents before taking any extreme step.
“What’s with today’s generation? Thodi toh himmat rakho to deal with ur issues, ur problems? Why give up on life so easily? Why are they so weak? Pls think abt ur parents before taking such a drastic step, pls give some importance to them too they suffer more than death #TunishaSharma,” Kamya wrote.
However, the actress’ Tweet has not gone down well with netizens. Several social media users reacted to Kamya’s Tweet and called it ‘insensitive’. “And this exact crass opinion is why mental health is a taboo in India. Everybody copes with stress differently but calling an exhausted person succumbing to it as weak is heartless,” one of the netizens wrote. Another social media user called it ‘cheap mentality’ and wrote, “Everytime I think you can’t get any more baseless and insensitive you end up proving me wrong.” Here’s how netizens are reacting to Kamya’s Tweet:
You know nothing about her life. What she was going through. Mental health is really important and sometimes people can’t cope with their issues. This is not being weak. Y’all gotta stop villifying it. https://t.co/oU3yyXfWCF— sasquatch (@jiv2412) December 25, 2022
