Social media platforms are replete with celebrity photos from their current fave vacation destination, the Maldives. It seems almost every Bollywood person is off to the Island country for a quick holiday. A look at some of their insta accunts one will not be surprised over the series of pictures from their vacation doing the round on social media. A prominent young actor spills the beans by stating many of them popular names have signed a secret deal. In other words, a package deal for Maldives with less burden on their pockets. The stars are being lured into free vacations on condition that they post pictures of their experiences,” the actor informs, adding that he refused the tempting offer as it seems a little vulgar to be splashing in the lap of luxury at a time when there is a worldwide panic over a pandemic.

Not just Bollywood stars, but even Priyanka Chopra’s brother-in-law Joe Jonas took his newly-married wife British actress Sophie Turner to the azure haven in the Maldives for their honeymoon. Priyanka Chopra a frequent flyer to Maldives is whispered to have got her bro-in-law an all-expenses paid honeymoon. The trip, it is rumoured, was in-house as long as Joe and Sophie let the world know they had a ball in Maldives. A number of celebs also took a dig at these stars holidaying in Maldives. Calling the celebs insensitive, Nikhil  Dwivedi, wrote, "Absolutely. Then we r surprised at the suddenness of the backlash the movie industry receives for unrelated reasons. We r so self-absorbed & so oblivious to what’s around us tht we appear unempathatic. Let me also assure it’s not like they r heartless, none are.. just plain stupid.  Journalist Barkha also lashed out the stars saying, “With apology to #Maldives but I just cant bear to see one more sun-kissed, rippled water image from there while our COVID numbers surge & jobs plummet. Its sort of the November version of Banana Bread & Celebrities would be be well advised on the tone-deafness of it.”
