Since Onam Day, National-Award-winning actor Surabhi Lakshmi’s timeline on Twitter and Facebook has looked like an online warzone, with torrential abuse being thrown at her because she ate beef on a TV show aired on Onam day.

Surabhi was also targeted for posting an image of Onam Sadhya with a chicken dish. Though it is a practice for people from North Kerala to have non-vegetarian dishes along with the Onam Sadhya, people continued abusing Surabhi online for insulting the festival. The abusers alleged that Surabhi hurt their sentiments as on Onam day only vegetarian dishes were served.

The Kerala Youth Commission has sought an enquiry by the police on to the issue.
