  • Riya Sen's Provocative Post Is A Lesson In How To Go Viral

Riya Sen posted on her Instagram account last week snowballed into traffic-stopping viralness over the weekend. The picture is ostensible to show off Riya's French manicure - at least, that's what her caption says - but it's evident from the comments the post received that nobody was looking at her nails.

 

Some users who commented said the 36-year-old actress' intentions were suspect, that she never meant for her manicure to be the centerpiece of the provocative picture given that she's plainly wearing very little in it.

 

Riya Sen's post has been 'liked' over 7,000 times and comments vary from appreciative ones that say 'awesome' or 'nice' to disapproval and censure. One c

 

omment calls the photo a 'publicity stunt,' another says outright, "You shouldn't have posed this does not suite 'u' (sic)."
