Yesterday, Akshay Kumar found himself trending on social media, after he liked a tweet about the crackdown on the students of Jamia Millia Islamia University after their protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act. The star later declared it was an error. Kumar said he had accidentally liked the tweet with the caption, "Badhai ho... Jamia me Azaadi mili hai (sic)." The social media user had posted a video of students running away from cops.

"Regarding the 'like' on the tweet of Jamia Millia students, it was by mistake. I was scrolling and accidentally it must have been pressed. When I realised it, I immediately unliked it. In no way do I support such acts (sic)," the star wrote when a screenshot of the 'liked' post went viral.
