Several
Bollywood

have
demanded
justice
for
the
victims
of
the
Kathua,
Unnao
and
Surat
rape
cases
that
have
generated
a
massive
outrage
against
the
perpetrators.
Alia
said
it
isn't
only
people
from
Bollywood
who
are
upset
but
there
is
anger
at
a
humanatarian
level
over
the
incident.
There’s
Anger
On
Humanitarian
Level
"I
don't
think
only
people
in
Bollywood
are
upset,
I
think
all
over
the
country
people
are
upset,
on
a
humanitarian
level
there
is
anger.
It
is
a
disgraceful,
shameful
and
terrible
thing
that's
happened,"
Alia
told
reporters.
"As
a
girl,
as
a
woman,
as
a
human
being
and
as
a
part
of
the
country,
I
feel
very
bad
and
hurt
that
something
like
this
has
happened."
Alia
Has
Stopped
Reading
About
Kathua
Incident
The
actor,
who
was
speaking
at
the
song
launch
of
her
upcoming
film
"Raazi",
said
she
has
stopped
reading
about
the
incident
as
it
makes
her
more
angry.
"There
was
a
time
when
I
was
reading
a
lot
about
it
but
in
the
last
two
days,
I
have
stopped
because
I
thought
if
I
keep
reading
about
it,
it's
going
to
make
me
more
and
more
upset
and
angry
and
really
hurt.
Just
Like
Us,
Alia
Also
Hopes
Justice
Is
Served
"I
just
hope,
from
my
heart,
that
justice
is
served.
As
a
country,
we
should
go
out
there
and
condemn
it
because
this
cannot
be
happening
to
us
constantly,"
she
added.
