Bollywood Celebs Extend Support To Protestors After 26 January Violence

Bollywood is yet again divided on the subject of the heart-breaking violent clash between farmers and the Delhi police on the occasion of India’s Republic Day.

The protest-turned-riots caused massive damage to public property, also leading to the injury of men from both sides.

The visuals of protestors marching all the way to Delhi’s Red Fort, only to hoist their own flag along side the flag of India – sparked further outrage, as it was considered a symbol of demeaning the national flag.



As the visuals stunned all of us at home, Bollywood celebs also reacted to the happenings – with many extending support to the protesting farmers, in the midst of all the violence.

Some of them showed their unhappiness over the ‘lathi charge’ by cops, while others like Farah Khan blamed the government for not listening to the voices of those in the roads.

Swara just wrote a ‘heartbroken’ emoticon to express her support towards the farmers:
