Neha Dhupia is the latest in line to come under fire for speaking or rather tweeting out against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, after Shruti Seth and Kavita Krishnan
On Tuesday when heavy rains brought Mumbai to a standstill, Neha Dhupia took to Twitter to share her thoughts on how everything in the city, especially transport came to a halt due to the rains which flooded some parts of the city.
Her tweet went viral on the microblogging site with criticsm pouring in from every where, and Dhupia also started trending.
She warned Mumbaikars about the terrible traffic and flooded roads outside and then tweeted the following-
One rain n the city comes to a standstill. Good governance is not about selfies n makin us do yoga,it's making sure ur citizens r safe.

The tweet which garnered 2,500 retweets and 1,900 favourites also earned her quite the backslash and sexist comments after trolls on Twitter questioned her choice in films, her political affiliations and made jokes on her being a woman- all because she asked a question we all were wondering.
