Amruta Fadnavis, wife of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, faced a barrage of criticisms on Twitter, after a video of her clicking a selfie dangerously, on board India's first cruise liner Angriya, went viral on social media on Sunday. 

Ms Fadnavis allegedly ignored police warnings and crossed the danger zone on the deck.

Ms Fadnavis was on board the luxury liner along with her husband during its inauguration on October 20. Union transport minister Nitin Gadkari was also at the event.

In the video, Ms Fadnavis can be seen trying to click a selfie against the backdrop of the sea, as security men ask her to step away. Soon after the video made headlines, Ms Fadnavis was criticised on social media for throwing warnings to the wind. People pointed out how can the Chief Minister's wife overlook safety, when youngsters are told not to take selfies risking their lives. 

This is more about personal safety more than breaking rules/display of power!
Leaders set example for common man!
& this is such a bad example to set!

Ma'am you are first lady of Maharashtra, it's high time you act like one. Show some responsibility at least in public.

The CM, The Highway and waterways Minister, the security incharge...

As per a 2017 report by researchers of Carnegie Mellon University and Indraprastha Institute of Information, Delhi, India recorded the highest number of selfie-related deaths. The Mumbai police have designated as many as 15 sites, where taking selfies are banned because of the risk factor.
