Indian Media Obsessed With Sridevi death
  • 6 years ago
Indian news channels are being condemned for their "ghoulish" coverage of the death of Bollywood superstar Sridevi as the country continues to mourn her passing. Local media channels have covered the 54-year-old actress' death relentlessly since she passed away unexpectedly Saturday night in Dubai. Much of the criticism has focused on their use of elaborate onscreen graphics and recreations of the hotel room where she died as a means of speculating on the actress' final moments. Despite the police ruling out any suggestion of foul play, some channels have begun promoting alternative conspiracy theories online. One local news station, not intent on using a mock-up, placed a reporter inside a bathtub during a live segment sparking outrage online.
