Soon as the photos went viral, users were quick to react to the post and its caption. While some people asked Amruta to share details of the reptiles and the backstory behind how they landed in her ‘Friday photos’, others seemed more interested in her caption.

Some of the users also seemed concerned for the reptiles and wondered if they were her pets and whether that was allowed. “Is this a pet? If it is a pet then is it right to keep these creatures? Is it dangerous for other people @MoHFW_INDIA @UNEP @PetaIndia,” a user identified as Neelesh Pal quote tweeted Amruta's post.

Amruta made headlines this year in a case involving allegations of bribery, and extortion, against bookie Anil Jaisinghani and his daughter Aniksha. Amruta Fadnavis, in her complaint, had alleged the father and daughter blackmailed her and tried to extort ₹10 crore from her. The case is under investigation, in which a chargesheet was filed last month by Mumbai police before a special court.
