When Rajini Chandy posted pictures from her glamorous photoshoot on Facebook recently, she didn t anticipate they would go viral and attract vicious trolls.
The photos show the 69-year-old housewife-turned-actress, who s generally seen in colourful elegant saris, dressed in a jumpsuit, long dresses, a pair of distressed jeans, and a short denim dress. In some, she s wearing a crown of fresh white flowers picked from her garden.
Described as bold and beautiful by the local press in the southern Indian state of Kerala, where she lives, the photoshoot has raised the hackles of many in a conservative state where most women still dress modestly in saris or traditional long skirts.
