Bipasha Basu celebrated her 45th birthday in the Maldives along with her husband Karan Singh Grover and her daughter Devi. Sharing romantic pictures of her birthday celebration in the Maldives, Bipasha wrote, "Perfect Birthday..Just need my 2 babies and sunshine and water.."
Reacting to Bipasha Basu's Maldives photos, many fans commented on her post. A user wrote, "Please boycotting Maldives..Be an informed citizen and know what is going on in your own country."
Another user wrote, "Ok now, stop advertising/promoting Maldivian resorts after the spit that happened! Let's be more responsible towards being the best Indian nagaric!"
"Maldives govt insulted us and u are roaming in Maldives. Deshdrohi nikle aap toh" wrote another user.
For the unversed, #BoycottMaldives trend on late Sunday night intensified after India's online travel booking & tour company, EaseMyTrip suspended all its flight operations to the island nation in solidarity with India. Not only this, EaseMyTrip also started a new hashtag #ChaloLakshadweep for Indians to promote tourism in India's Union Territory. India-Maldives standoff came to the fore when ministers of the Island nation used derogatory remarks and passed racist slurs against Indians and Narendra Modi after the Prime Minister visited Lakshadweep Island and urged people around the world to visit the beach Island.
