These Bollywood celebs tweeted in support of Deepika Padukone after the JNU protests
Deepika’s attendance at JNU campus on Tuesday night has raised havoc on Twitter. While some fans are accusing the starlet of shamelessly promoting her film with the JNU cause, others came out in support of her. Deepika was appreciated for the bold move of expressing solidarity with JNU students right before the release of ‘Chhapaak’. Some even pointed out that she has been the only A-lister celebrity who bothered to attend any of the nation-wide protests. Check out Bollywood celebs who supported her.
Deepika’s stand is going to make a lot of young people question their parents, their peers and their government. Hopefully they’ll go out and educate themselves. And not parrot everything authority tells them.
She’s a true hero.— Vikramaditya Motwane (@VikramMotwane) January 8, 2020
Leading from the front, the tallest #DeepikaPadukone.

As producer today @deepikapadukone would’ve been standing in the preview theatres in Mumbai waiting to hear praise being showered on her maiden production. She instead chose to stand in solidarity with #JNUstudents knowing fully well the ramifications of her actions. #RESPECT

The ‘Gangs of Wasseypur’ director has emerged out as an active propagandist of the JNU protests that have shaken the nation. Right from voicing his opinion on Twitter to slamming down trolls, the director-producer-actor has provided his 100% to the national movement. When actress Deepika Padukone was slammed for attending the JNU protests, he came out in support with several tweets in favor of the Chhapaak star. Anurag even went on to change his profile picture to Deepika’s as he stood by the starlet! Kudos Anurag!
The female of the species is, and was, and will always be the strongest of the two #DeepikaPadukone . Chhapak first day all shows . Let’s all those who stand against the violence go to @bookmyshow and show them. Make our silent statement which will be the loudest .

Rangoli Chandel impressed with Deepika Padukone JNU protest act
While most of Bollywood celebrities stand with Deepika Padukone in the JNU matter; a few others like Rangoli Chandel have been slamming her. Kangana Ranaut’s manager and sister Rangoli Chandel took to Twitter to mud-sling Deepika Padukone for ‘openly’ using the JNU protests to promote her upcoming film ‘Chhapaak’. In a highly sarcastic manner, she said that people should ‘respect’ her for shamelessly promoting the film in front of the whole world.
Many people are rattled with her support to tukde gang,no need to over react, it’s her prerogative to promote her film, this has always been the pattern of filmi people, if you fail to see it it’s not their fault,let them do what they want to, we shall do what we think is right🙏
— Rangoli Chandel (@Rangoli_A) January 8, 2020
(Contd)… mujhe achcha laga usne openly yeh kiya, bahut choohe abhi bhi bilon mein chupe hain… sab niklenge dheere dheere, but we should respect Deepika ne openly PR kiya JNU mein #Guts 🙏

Tabu looks fabulous in the new poster from Jawaani Jaaneman
Producer Jacky Bhagnani shared another glimpse of his upcoming film starring the ageless jodi Tabu and Saif Ali Khan. While the first poster of the film saw a boozy Saif Ali Khan dozing off on a bed with a lady, the latest one has the refreshing face of Tabu as the highlight. Veteran actress Tabu looks like she could give the 20-something-year-olds a run for their money. Releasing on 31 January 2020, the film is touted to be a sexy surprise for the viewers. Check out the new poster.
