"Let's be gentle to her 1) each one of us must plant 8 trees a year 2) stop breeding like rabbits 3) avoid single used plastic 4)Don't waste food 5) be aware of idiots around you take responsibility cause you could be living wisely but if not handled they will destroy you."

"Romanticizing the pandemic which has destroyed thousands of families in the country Where does Kangana draw the line?" read a tweet. 

 "Yes. Please casually say that the virus might be killing humans like it's nothing to people who lost their family members due to it. It's easy to preach about healing when you are not losing your livelihood due to it," wrote another Twitter user.
