Veteran actor and television personality Simi Garewal is facing online criticism after her recent post on X about Raavan went viral. Her remarks, intended as a reflection during the festival of Dussehra, quickly attracted widespread attention and backlash.
Garewal's post included a message to Raavan with a photograph of the character, in which she questioned the traditional view of Raavan as evil. She wrote, "Dear Ravana... Every year, on this day, we celebrate the victory of good over evil.. But.. technically.. your behaviour should be re-classified from 'Evil' to 'Slightly Naughty'. After all, tumne kiya hi kya tha?
