Payal Rohatgi's bigoted rant is more than 'weeird'

Thank you, Payal Rohatgi! You have done a great service to all "Muslims guys", especially Nadeem and Abdul, with your Facebook Live video. At least now we know what goes inside the mind of a closeted bhakt — it's like "the entire universe (full of Muslims) is conspiring against Hindus all the time. 

The "Hindu" celeb came under fire following her communal rant on both Facebook and Twitter early morning on January 3 from the Mumbai airport. In her live video, a visibly miffed Rohatgi said that she and her partner were to fly Jet Airways from Mumbai to Thiruvananthapuram (in the business class) and despite reaching at 6.20 am for a 6.50 am flight, the Jet Airways staff offloaded them. Why? Well, because she is a Hindu.

While narrating her “Weeeird” ordeal, Rohatgi forgot that all airlines follow certain rules and deadlines regarding boarding and departure, and not function at the whims and fancies of any Hindu celeb or some Muslim guys.

Despite her best attempt to draw attention to her flight… sorry plight, Rohatgi managed to irk social media users with her insensitive and illogical rant. While Facebook users reacting to the video tried to talk some sense into the celeb’s head, she went ahead and defended her stand with more posts.

Apparently, Rohatgi also has some very strong views on demonetisation in 2016, which she backs with her lamentations over the loss of lives and property of Hindus during India’s Partition in 1947.

Even though Islamophobia has reached epidemic proportions across the world, India certainly has been the worst victim of it. If gory terrorist attacks by extremist groups were not enough to shift all blame upon Muslims, self-proclaimed celebs like Rohatgi with their stupid comments will only give rise to extreme and unjustified hatred towards Muslims.
