On eve of Diwali, Indian cricket team captain Virat Kohli had posted a video message where he had urged people to celebrate Diwali without firing crackers and this lead to a huge outrage against him besides social media trolling.

Now actress Kasthuri has tweeted telling Kohli to consider before giving out such messages. Kasthuri tweeted "No crackers for Diwali, diya is enough ?Sure. Better still, Why nine sports cars? noise and air pollution. Bicycle is enough.Why destination wedding with chartered flights? airport overload. Local registered marriage is enough."

Further in another tweet, she mentioned Kohli and it read "Youth Icons like #ViratKohli should consider carefully before spouting 'woke' inanities that affect the livelihoods of thousands of honest working folks in Sivakasi, TamilNadu, home of India's firework industry. Diwali means food for them. Not lucrative festival endorsements ."
