The dudebros of the internet took the opportunity to come out with pitchforks and declare that “ Bangalan ke chakkar mein phasogey, toh yehi hoga.”
Barkha Trehan / बरखा त्रेहन July 31, 2020Įssentially, according to the tweet, Bengali women are those who ensnare good-looking rich men, only to make them their “servants and financiers” and purportedly distance them from their families. If you want to be her servant and financer and are okay to leave your family and join her family then go ahead?? #RheaChakroborty They catch big fish, good looking highly paid guys.
#Bengali women how to
In a patriarchal country like ours, where having even one of these traits immediately berates you in the eyes of many, is it any surprise that after the media on black magic began circus, a Twitter thread with the hashtag #rheachakraborty started doing the rounds, warning men to steer clear of Bengali women.īengali girls are dominating, they know how to make guys fall for them. Instead, let’s focus on a deeply misogynistic conversation that this bizarre coverage has inadvertently given limelight to – our problematic vilifying of Bengali women.īengali women have historically been outspoken, well-read and unafraid to embrace their sensuality. But this piece doesn’t intend to break down the opinions flying fast and thick on social media around this case. Conspiracy theorists are having a field day and testimonies have been discussed threadbare.

News18 India, Zee TV, India TV and countless other channels quickly followed suit to discuss in ‘breaking news’ segments how black magic played a role in the suicide case. A recent Aaj Tak headline screamed “Sushant par Rhea ka Kaala Jaadu” with a tackily photoshopped picture of Rhea Chakraborty over a glass orb with a smiling Sushant Singh Rajput helplessly trapped in it.
