KOCHI: Several people had posted their responses in support of the Supreme Court verdict that allows women of all ages to enter Sabarimala. Model Rehna Fathima had posted a photograph, in which she was wearing the traditional costume of Ayyappa devotees. She had captioned the image ‘Thatwamasi’ and faced backlash for uploading the image. Now she has come forward explaining the after effects of posting that image.

“Men who enjoyed the patriarchal system feared women till now, not lord Ayyappa. Comments against me point that. Moreover, I received good results in an exam after posting that image. I received fifth rank in the state in the promotion test”, said Rehna Fathima. She also asks whether she should visit Sabarimala or not.
