Pooja Bedi has been facing the wrath of the netizens after she posted a video of the plight of a quarantine centre in Goa. Bedi was the centre of a lot of criticism after she bought to light the unhygienic quarantine facilities in the state of Goa.
Taking to her official Twitter handle, Pooja Bedi had shared a video showing moulds and fungi and lack of sanitization at the centre that she and her fiancée Maneck Contractor were stationed. However, what seemed to have irked people the most was Bedi’s comment saying, “it is much more of a risk getting contaminated in a place like this than a home that we come from.”

The lack of hygiene & sanitization makes it a BREEDING GROUND for viruses. People who enter goa WITHOUT corona may get it at such a badly sanitised quarantine centre. I TWEETED out of CONCERN 4 the safety of others… BUT all people can focus on is that "a celebrity entered goa"?

However, Pooja Bedi has now taken to her official Instagram handle to share yet another video. The video was targetted to those slamming Pooja and her fiancée Maneck Contractor for being outsiders and entering their state in such turbulent times.
Sharing the video, Pooja captioned it, “Goa! its my home too! I refuse to be a soft target for embittered, jealous, fearful & narrow minded people. They should know facts… before they attack.!!!”

Bedi opened up about the video by saying, “Clearly, I am in the eye of a storm with all my tweets regarding my journey from Mumbai to Goa and the appalling quarantine facilities that we were subjected to. I would like to start by stating we did everything as good, law-abiding citizens. We applied to the Goa government online and uploaded all our documents, which include the fact that my fiancé Maneck Contractor is Goan. What that means is that his voter ID, Aadhaar card and his passport are registered to Goa. The homes that we possess and our properties are registered in Goa and our businesses are also registered in Goa. Goa is our home. We then also got permission from the DGP to travel through the state of Maharashtra, which we had to apply for. In addition, we also had a screening certificate in hand, which was mandatory to state that we were not symptomatic of the coronavirus.”

While there is a certain section of the society that is lauding the Indian government and PM Narendra Modi for tackling the situation is poor light, there are others who are lauding the govt for dealing with the crisis in an exceptionally skilful manner with such limited resources.
