A picture of a South Indian actress sitting at her husband’s feet is going viral on the internet for all the wrong reasons. The photo, which features Kannada actor Parneetha Subhash, is facing backlash and has also sparked several debates on the grounds of misogyny, post-marital subjugation, and patriarchy.
Performing a ritual called Bhimana Amavasya, Praneetha is seen sitting on the floor with her husband Nitin Raju, who is seated on a chair with his feet on a thali. This picture was originally shared by the actress on her Twitter profile with the name Rasam in the caption.

never ever. Better to die alone than ask your partner to do it in the name of tradition and culture. And if you value tradition so much, wash his feet too when he finishes washing yours. https://t.co/mElDQBsE1Z
