'Don't the dead deserve better? Shouldn't we self-reflect and course correct?'

Malayalees bid a tearful adieu to veteran actor and screenwriter Sreenivasan. Photos and videos of prominent personalities paying last respect to Sreenivasan are surfacing on social media. Amidst this, a story put on Instagram by Supriya Menon, producer and wife of actor Prithviraj, is gaining attention.

Supriya Menon:

Grief is such a personal emotion. To see a grieving family not have any space to mourn their beloved is so tragic. Multitudes of cameras/ mobile phones everywhere. Selfie takers in the corners, people pointing to the actors walking in. Many of whom are mourning their beloved colleague. Don't the dead & the living they leave behind deserve better? What a spectacle every moment of life has become... Cannot imagine the pain of the family who are in the midst of this tragedy. Shouldn't we self-reflect & course correct? How much coverage is too much? Do we need to crowd around the last rites, beaming it for everyone to see ... a broken down family trying to say goodbye to their Beloved.

Supriya wrote that it was time for the general public to introspect on their behaviour. As a result, many people came forward to support Supriya.
