With the recently changing political scenario in Maharashtra, there was also a change in the decision regarding a Metro line wherein one of the lines was asked to cut through the forest area of Aarey.
Many celebrities like Dia Mirza and Raveena Tandon objected to this decision owing to the impact that it may have on Mother Nature.
However, certain netizens not only disagreed with them but also believed that this area lacks development in terms of transport and other infrastructure.
Because of this debate, some of them shamed these actresses for not being empathetic toward the plight of the middle-class and their difficulties. However, Raveena took to social media to respond to these trolls.
In a series of tweets, Raveena Tandon responded to trolls and haters who posted about her not understanding the travel issues faced by people residing in Aarey due to lack of access to public transport.
However, hitting back at that them for shaming her, Raveena said, “Teen yrs, travelled in locals/buses, got eveteased, pinched, everything that most women go through, earned my first car in 92.Development is welcome, we have to b responsible, not only a project, but wherever we are cutting thru r forests, to safeguard environment/wildlife.”
She went on to add, “Everyone’s life is not a bed of roses. Everyone has struggled to reach somewhere. I’m sure you have a house/car too.
The day heat waves/flooding/natural disasters strike, it’ll effect the common man first. Elitists will be the first to run away to their Swiss chalet.”
