Jwala applied for the Padma Awards!

While many extended their support through comments, there were few who didn’t take it very well. A commentator went up to the extent of comparing Jwala with Rahul Dravid indirectly letting her know that awards are earned. Rahul Dravid earlier declined the Doctrate that was offered to him by Bangalore University as he felt he did not earn it.
See the commentator’s response to Jwala’s letter:

An underwhelming sequel!
We see women being unapologetically themselves, even if they are flawed, or misunderstood, or do not conform to societal standards.
RJ Balaji’s Sorgavaasal is a meandering prison drama but with strong characters, perfect casting and a touch of realistic writing, it hits the right doors.
