Actress Sreekutty responded angrily to people who chastised her for having a holy plunge and taking part in the maha Kumbh Mela. She posted a video of her response on social media. Sreekutty said she was thrilled to be able to join her husband at the 45-day maha Kumbh Mela.
 
"We took part in the maha Kumbh mela approximately two weeks ago.  Neither of us has had a cold, fever, itching, or any other health problems up until this point.  We're not itching, just the individuals who are writing these remarks are," Sreekutty said.
 

"At the Triveni Sangam, we took a sacred plunge.  Since we hadn't reserved a room, we were unable to take another bath later that day. We didn't even take a bath with soap for two days following the dip.  Those of you who are condemning us ought to at least take a bath in this supposedly "dirty" water once.  I was informed that over 630 million people, or 63 crore, attended the Kumbh Mela.  I'm not sure about them, but my spouse and I went swimming, and so far, we haven't encountered any issues.  That's the reality.
 

"I carried some water with me when I got back from that place.  It feels much more pure to me now.  It was rather muddy when I initially gathered it, but now it appears to be mineral water.  Because of the responses I've been getting, I wanted to bring this up here even though I don't feel the need to prove it to anybody.  'You are a blight to this land,' and 'What are you people doing?' are among other statements.  "Hateful remarks like these are being posted," Sreekutty stated.
