She captioned one of her Instagram videos, “LIVE your LIFE while u are on this planet…! The only guarantee in life is death! It’s inevitable! What matters is how you LIVE .. and it certainly shouldn’t be in a state of continuous fear & uncertainty… its already stolen ONE WHOLE YEAR of our lives. Life is not meant to be lived in Fear, suffocating masks & Concrete cages. Sunshine & fresh air builds immunity…Love… Happy Goa.”
Posting a video from a speedboat, she captioned it, “Life is meant to be lived…not spent caged and masked for a year/years in fear of a virus that’s clearly not going away! If you died tomorrow after year of masking/lockdown… what would ur greatest regret be?”
Joys of living in healthy, happy #goa .
Free your mind #NoFear
Life is meant to be lived…❤ not spent caged and masked for a year/ years in fear of a virus that's clearly not going away!

The videos did not go down well with people online, who slammed her for showing off her privilege amid the second wave and rising COVID-19 cases in India:
If I mask and still die, atleast I was not a spreader will be a relief to my conscience. May be money kills conscience. https://t.co/BbAui2t6MZ

My greatest regret would be this comment. देश जाए भार में लोग मरते है मरने दो हमको कौन सा फर्क पड़ता है मेरे पास पैसे बहुत है हम तो बच जाएंगे।

My biggest regret would be not slapping covidiots so hard that they end up in another dimension

Soon, Pooja Bedi took to her comments section to respond to some of the comments. Here’s what she had to say:
What privilege. ?? Beaches are available and accessible to every individual irrespective of what u consider privilege… We have a large coastline in India. It's only your state of mind (fearful or positive) that makes u avail the "privilege "

It's not a vacation in Goa.. I Live in Goa & my health& wellness venture @happysoulindia is based here. BTW beaches across India are available 2 all 2 enjoy free of cost.
Why envy people who have freed their mind from fear of #coronavirus & chosen To ENJOY the planet while alive?— Pooja Bedi (@poojabeditweets) April 15, 2021
Besides.. what makes u think Goa doesn't have covid? Did covid halt at Goa border? People in Goa are Happy. Healthy & stress free Because of no lockdown. Because their businesses are open, because of exercise. Sunshine. Company. Healthy food & a positive state of mind.

I know people who have lived in FEAR for an ENTIRE YEAR who are now ill DUE TO the lack of exercise, depression & stress DUE TO LOCKDOWN. If they now die… what a waste of a whole year of their lives!
Id rather LIVE FULLY every day that I'm alive.— Pooja Bedi (@poojabeditweets) April 15, 2021
