If many B-Town stars lent their support to the Mumbai protests on Monday, several miles away in Delhi, another Bollywood heavyweight — Deepika Padukone — made it known that she stood in solidarity with the students of Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU). The actor visited the university on Tuesday, two days after a masked mob attacked students and teachers on the campus, provoking nationwide outrage.

The actor dropped in around 7.45 pm and attended the public meeting that was held by a group of students, including Aishe Ghosh, president of the students' union. Former student leader Kanhaiya Kumar was also present.
