A few Bollywood celebrities were at the receiving end for holidaying as the country fights COVID-19 in the second wave. Netizens and stars like Nawazuddin Siddiqui slammed them for sharing pictures from exotic locales on social media. Now, veteran actor Annu Kapoor, on Twitter, lashed out at the 'rich and famous from all walks of life' to not post pictures of their luxurious vacations.
On Sunday, Annu wrote, "I humbly appeal to rich and famous from all walks of life and media not to post their pictures vacationing at exotic locations while the most of the world suffers with pandemic."

Talking about the same in an interview with an entertainment portal, Annu said it seems like celebrities are flaunting their fancy platter in front of the hungry. He further added that he isn't stopping anyone from going on a holiday but requested them to not 'show off'. "Those who have facilities, are rich and privileged, they can go. You go, I am not stopping you. Do not show off. You are flaunting your fancy platter in front of the hungry. We know that you can afford it. We know you are rich. We know you have a good body. But apart from this what else can you show off. But it does not feel good. There is the German term for it - ‘kitsch’, which means art in bad taste; when the taste in your mouth goes bad. So I clearly said, you do what you have to, I do not have any objection to it. Those who have money will go. I am not stopping you from that, but from showing it off," Annu said.
