Actor and columnist Pooja Bedi had recently been criticised by netizens for not wearing a mask on a beach.

Pooja bedi continued to take criticism for her tweet urging people to live freely instead of being ‘caged and masked for a year / years in fear of a virus that is clearly not going away’. She responded to a Twitter user demanding action against her for violating Covid-19 standards by not wearing a mask, reminding her that several politicians are guilty of the same.

“@DGP_Goa @Coll_SouthGoa @Coll_NorthGoa @spsouthgoa @spnorthgoa Celeb is telling people to break covid protocol on Goan Beaches & has posted her video of proof of mask less violation, kindly issue her fine as per law,” a user wrote.

In response, Pooja wrote that Goa is not on lockdown. She added: “Obviously no one will wear a mask while eating, drinking (on a plane, in a restaurant or in public places) or taking a photo / video.” She also asked the man if all politicians pictured without masks at public events should be arrested: “Politicians across the country have been seen posing without masks at functions. Do you want to stop them too?

When a Twitter user asked if Pooja wanted people to go out and “spread the disease,” she replied, “Not at all. U should be careful .. but free your mind from the psychosis of fear. If there is no lock in your condition … heal and strengthen your immune system with nature / sun walks and exercise. Your immunity is your best friend. “
