A selfie video recorded and uploaded by the Puducherry Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi’s granddaughter regarding family issues has gone viral.
The video appears to have been recorded at home and shows her father in another room. In the video, the grand daughter tells her mother Saina Bedi, “Daddy and I don’t want to live with you. We want to be away from you.” She goes on to say, “I am very ashamed to be the granddaughter of Dr. Kiran Bedi. The only one that too. When I called and told you (Ms. Kiran Bedi) that my mother is hitting my father with chappals, you said that it is between husband and wife. Nani, why are you using police influence now?”
The video was posted on Twitter by Deepika Bhardwaj, a film-maker, who said: “I am appalled that Kiran Bedi told her granddaughter that it’s a matter between husband and wife when her daughter beat up her husband with chappals, spat on him and thrashed him. I wonder if you’d say the same if a husband did this to his wife. You would book him under Section 498A.”
In her reply, Kiran Bedi said, "The matter is already closed. A notice has been issued to YouTube with the court order directing them to remove the video. Since it involves a child, the matter is exceedingly sensitive. I am not sure if talking about it or writing about it will be appropriate."
