Havana – Cuban influencer Sandro Castro has chosen a very different path from his revolutionary grandfather Fidel, using his name to pursue online fame while occasionally poking fun at the island's dire shortages of food, medicine, power and fuel.

It is a pastime some find entertaining, even fair commentary, but the 33-year-old is coming under increasing scrutiny from those loyal to Cuba's communist project for disrespecting his ancestor's legacy.

For others locked in a daily struggle for survival, the younger Castro's high-flying lifestyle and apparent lack of empathy is offensive on a whole different level.

On his Instagram account, Sandro regales his 127,000 followers with images of him partying, at times with scantily clad women.
