Influencer Sarah Sarosh has deleted a video which showed her getting ready and doing her makeup while the voiceover touched upon a much more serious topic - the rape and murder of a doctor inside a hospital in Kolkata that has shocked the nation. Social media users were quick to notice the disconnect between what they saw on their screens and the heinous crime being spoken of in the voiceover, and slammed Sarosh for trivialising the issue. In the ‘Get Ready With Me’ Instagram Reel, the beauty content creator was seen putting on serums, face creams and doing a full face of makeup.
She was seen smiling, winking and showing her beauty products to the viewers while the voiceover spoke about the rape and murder of the Kolkata doctor. The video was slammed as insensitive, out-of-touch and distasteful - with hundreds of complaints flooding the Instagram comments section within minutes of it being shared online yesterday. Although the video was deleted from Sarosh’s Instagram account, it is still being circulated on Reddit, X and other social media platforms.
“This is so distasteful and insensitive. She will do anything for views,” wrote one Reddit user. “At this point, these people’s accounts should be banned.
If she really had to talk about this topic, she could’ve sat down rather than doing a GRWM . How are the audio and video are related. Why would you upload a GRWM while talking about something so insensitive?” another person asked on a Reddit thread discussing.
