Actor Divyanka Tripathi is drawing flak after she posted an Instagram story expressing her “excitement” over experiencing her “life’s first earthquake” in Chandigarh. Large parts of North India, including Delhi-NCR, felt strong tremors on Tuesday night as an earthquake of magnitude 6.6 jolted the Hindu Kush region in Afghanistan.

In an Instagram story, Divyanka showed how people in the locality had gathered outside after feeling the tremors. “Okay this is very exciting because I’m experiencing my life’s first earthquake… Gali mohalla sab neeche aa gayi hai. This is exciting, just for now, jab tak ke zyada nahi hota,” she was heard saying as she giggled.
While most Twitter users slammed Divyanka over the tone-deaf comments, some people argued that she was not ill-intentioned in saying it.

Too triggering for people who have gone through worst in an earthquake. Didn’t expect this from Divyanka, She could have just posted telling everyone to stay safe. https://t.co/Jh5q6lHpNU— AJ (@LiveLifeHappyN) March 22, 2023
ohhh to be so privileged & empty-headed that you are in an earthquake & the first instinct is "ooh this is so exciting" https://t.co/xnGQJN2mha— ؘ (@ritamiddleclass) March 22, 2023
how exactly is experiencing an earthquake exciting? does she not realise how triggering it must be for people who have lost their loved ones in this tragedy? Ab adventurous banne/dikhne ke chakkar mai kuch bhi bolenge. https://t.co/rUGtScOEOa
