South Actress Pranitha Subhash Responds To Trolls For Touching Husband’s Feet

Pranitha Subhash is one of the household names when it comes to the South cinema industry. Predominantly working for Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, Hindi, and Malayalam films the actress has a prominent fan following. The 30-year-old actress is a proud Sanatani who does not shy away from following its customs and traditions.

Recently, the actress took to her Twitter and shared a beautiful picture as she performs the Bheemana Amavasya ritual. The picture features Pranitha sitting at her husband’s feat as she does the puja. Last year, a group of netizens trolled the actress for doing this. This year she gives them a classy reply to the trolls.

Pranitha Subhash received backlash for performing Bheema Amavasya last year, netizens called the act ‘misogynistic’

Bheemana Amavasya is one of the well-renowned Hindu occasions that is observed in South India, predominantly in Karnataka. In this festival, married women basically do puja for the long and healthy life of their husbands. Actress Pranitha Subhash recently shared snippets of performing a ritual from this festival on his Twitter handle.

In the shared photo one can witness Pranitha is wearing a gorgeous yellow Salwar Suit as she sits at her husband Nitin Raju’s feet. The picture showcases Pranitha placing flowers on his feet and touching them.

It is safe to say that the actress seems more than just happy as she performs this beautiful ritual. However, the same act last year triggered a section of netizens who labeled this act as ‘misogynistic’.

Not just misogynistic, netizens even wrote as we quote,

“This is the worst form of slavery, privileged women with internalised patriarchy cause maximum damage to women’s progress.”

Pranitha gave a classy response to all the trollers

Opening up on last year’s criticism and backlash that Pranitha received she gave a very classy response to all her trollers. She replied by sharing how this festival and this performance where she sits at her husbands’ feat as she does the ritual holds “great significance to me”. The actress wrote in her caption as we quote,

“Offering puja on the occasion of #BheemanaAmavasya this morning. To you, it may be a show of patriarchy (from what I saw last year, with meme pages etc debating this), but to me, it holds great significance.”

The actress concluded her caption as she wrote,

“In #SanatanaDharma, most rituals have a story to back why it is significant. And to argue that Hindu rituals are patriarchal is completely baseless as it’s one of the few faiths where female Goddesses are worshipped equally.”
