Two days since the students' protest against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) at the Jamia Millia Islamia University in Delhi took a violent turn, the country has stood in solidarity with the protesters and criticised the Delhi Police for resorting to brutality. Closer home in Bollywood, the big guns — who go into an overdrive on social media when lauding the state's initiatives or posting selfies with Prime Minister Narendra Modi — have maintained a stoic silence on the issue.

Fortunately though, a section of the industry — including Rajkummar Rao, Anurag Kashyap, Ayushmann Khurrana, Swara Bhasker and Parineeti Chopra, among others — have extended support to the students. Several stars are also expected to join the anti-CAA protest at August Kranti Maidan in Mumbai tomorrow.
