Not only was she trolled for promoting Christmas celebrations, tweeteratis have even dragged Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis asking him questions as well.
@CMOMaharashtra why #Maharashtra state sponsoring Christian superstitious events to convert Hindus students while you promote crackerless Diwali?

She immediately responded with another tweet when hate mongers have not spared her husband and were trying to make it a polarized issue.
She tweeted, “I’m a proud Hindu & like many, I celebrate every festival in my country & that is an individual choice…. We represent the true spirit of our country … and that doesn’t dilute our love towards our country, religion & humanity ….”
Another tweet from her read, “Love, sharing & empathy have no religion – let’s accept all positivity around us & stay away from negative thoughts & demotivating energies !” she added in another tweet.
Love , sharing & empathy have no religion – let’s accept all positivity around us & stay away from negative thoughts & demotivating energies !
