She shared the article on social media with some sharp criticism attached to it, calling it patriarchal and misogynistic. While the article has since been taken down, Joseph's post went viral on Facebook, with many agreeing with her point of view.
"This perfectly sums up what is wrong with the press in India, especially the vernacular press. Shameless objectification of women and propagation of patriarchal structures, reducing a lady's worth to her face," she wrote on her Facebook profile.
Some commentators, however, criticized Joseph for writing the post to get popularity.
Joseph caused a controversy in 2015, being accused of allegedly violating protocol, after a photo of her with an Indian actor Nivin Pauly appeared online. In another incident, she was blamed for making a junior officer hold an umbrella for her.
