Stop hounding people who are dealing with personal loss by flashing your camera in their face at their most vulnerable time! And for what? A few posts? Online portals and channels are equally at fault” Take a stand, DON’T post those pictures and videos! Stop faking sensitivity by just writing, “Heartbreaking” in the captions of such inhuman insensitive posts’.

She said, “Last 24 hours saw the most insensitive behaviour by some media members… such shallow social media tactics just for some views on posts… it’s so sad to see the humans we’ve become… A family is not being allowed to grieve in peace… I don’t know them personally but it breaks my heart seeing how they are being forcefully captured in photos and videos even while crying!! Where is the BASIC humanity guys!!”
