Raja’s sister received hate for sharing promotional posts between the emotional posts about her brother’s murder

Content creators only care about their so-called impressions. You can see how every so-called meme maker turns serious issues into memes and jokes for their imprrssions which is very concerning.

Milking everything for engagement is becoming second nature to people. Their souls died long ago.

Several threads featuring screenshots from Shrasti’s IG post and the hashtags on Reddit garnered more hate for Shrasti Raghuwanshi
One Redditor wrote,
“The brother is such a poor soul… His wife first got him assassinated… And the Sister is milking his death for clout… Raja Raghuvanshi… I ohope, if there is an afterlife or a rebirth, you get the best one… You didn’t deserve any of this shit in this life. Peace!”
Another user responded by adding,
“She’s his cousin sister who is an influencer on Instagram. If you see her profile you aren’t going to see this guy (Raja) before he got married. She attended his marriage and made reels during his marriage… when this news came of the couple being missing, she started making reels related to them, and side by side also making content for other things too. It might be right to say though they were cousins, she used his disappearance, and now his death for getting reach and followers (as you all mentioned about the hashtags used).”

Amid all this, some people have defended Shrasti by saying that, as she is an influencer, it is a part of her job to upload the promotional posts at the right time. A user highlighted that professional influencers/content creators have an edit calendar that spans at least a couple of weeks. The pre scheduled content are to be released on a set date.
A lot of the content is pre scheduled to be released on a set date. With a creator of such a reach, they would typically have a team to manage all this.
Seems like they missed to unpublish the scheduled reels.— Amit Chopra | Every Paisa Matters (@EvryPaisaMatter) June 9, 2025

Have you considered the fact that professional influencers/content creators have a edit calendar that spans at least a couple of weeks? Once people make serious money on social media, they no longer simply wake up and push out a reel or two just because they feel like it. I think…
