Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina recently facd massive trolling after his ‘I am a Brahmin’ comment during his commentating for Tamil Nadu Premier League. Many are considering his comment as a casteist remark. Meanwhile, a few are also supporting the cricketer and questioning the criticism Suresh is facing.
TV actress Devoleena Bhattacharjee has also come out in support of Suresh. Devoleena replied to a user’s post on the trolling, who questioned if it is a crime to acknowledge Indian culture and heritage, which btw is a fundamental right too. His Tweet read, “#SureshRaina was brutally trolled, ‘some’ people are calling him casteist ‘just’ because in an interview he said, ‘I THINK I AM A #BRAHMIN’. Well we will have a fundamental right to acknowledge our heritage. Isnt it? Is it a crime? Why people are offended? @ImRaina”
Devoleena replied to the user’s Tweet saying, “The problem is Within the Society…Castiesm is there..Very much there..infact jo iske khilaaf bolte hai unke ghar mein hi sabse zyada shayad ho..Sad but True..Are we ever gonna stop this? And top of it there should be strong law against Trolling…”
Devoleena who is quite active on the social media rose to fame with her role of Gopi Bahu in Saath Nibhana Saathiya. She was last seen in Bigg Boss 14 as Eijaz Khan’s proxy.
