Television actress Shveta Salve who is currently in Goa spending some time off her work was criticized for her lifestyle. The online haters said that she was setting a bad example for her daughter by smoking and drinking. Shveta, who usually let all these things go pass her, decided to address the trolls. Taking to Instagram, Shveta shared a picture of herself in a floral bikini, with a cigarette in one hand and a drink in the other and shared to the world that, yes, she drinks and smokes.
She started her long post by saying, “A Day off Looks something like this … Yes, I Drink and Smoke ... I am real, honest and basic like that. It has to be of no reason that anyone ever judges me for the person I am or the Mommy I am .. I don’t propagate it and neither do I question anyone else who does, so I would respect the same back .”
She then addressed why she was sharing this post, “Today I got a few random DM’s by totally random people about my actions, and I usually let such things go pass me but for some reason today I felt like addressing it. How does this make me a bad person or a bad mom ?? Do you see me wasting my Life? Do you see me sitting unemployed n jobless? Do you see me neglecting my child ?”
She further said, “I work, I work multiple jobs, I’m an actor, dancer, an entrepreneur .” I successfully live in two major cities of our glorious country. I have beautiful friends whom I love and I know who love me back for the person I am. Risking the fact that I might sound aggressive but don’t ever question my abilities to be a bad example to my child !! So tell me does an honest sex worker who sells her body to feed her family, to maybe get an education or to provide a life for her children is a Bad Person? A Bad Mother? A stigma to society? Who are you and I to Judge ??”
Shveta continued, “My parents taught me well and exposed me to the good and evil of everything. They smoked and drank too but they did a mighty fine job of raising my brother and I. As children, we knew that this was not something we could practice until a certain age. And that too if we ever wanted to.. a choice that we were allowed to take as adults ...
Today I share a drink with them, and celebrate the fact that they gave me a fabulous childhood n Life and I aspire to do the same with my Baby… I don’t pay for likes and followers, you choose to follow me for who I am. And hence what you see is me being me and you always have the option to unfollow me :)
She ended her post by saying, “Live and Let Live .. this rant has gotten me all irked so I’m gonna go and pour myself a red and light up .. #micdrop #bekindtooneanother #peaceout
