Surat influencer makes daughter sit on the floor due to her periods, viral video faces social media backlash

A video is going viral on social media for all the wrong reasons. A social media influencer from Surat was enjoying family lunch but netizens could spot his daughter sitting on the floor. Why so? The reason is that the girl was on her periods (menstruation). Rupal Shah, the girl in the video and in question, shared the video and wrote- “P.S yess.. we strictly avoid person to person contact during those days of month.” She added, “.. and I and Janvi love to cling to it and we respect that desicion taken by my family since ages , and till today we observe it very strictly ..!”

Here are some reactions the video garnered: “Bro???!!! The caption???? You’re telling me you and your daughter “love to follow” a tradition that treats women as untouchables for ..a normal bodily function? And you’re not gonna even TRY changing that,” read one comment. “Some “influencer” has posted a reel of her family in a posh looking house sitting on the dining table & eating then the video cuts to her sitting on the floor a little away from them & eating her food. in the caption she mentions, it’s bcs she’s on her period. great culture” wrote another.
