has
received
massive
respect

for
visiting
Jawaharlal

last
night
(January

2020)to
express
solidarity
with

who
were

on
the
last
Sunday
(January

inside

Let's
all
those

and
show
them.
Make
our
silent
statement
which
will

Here's
how
other
netizens
reacted
to
Deepika's
visit
at
JNU..
vir
sanghvi
@virsanghvi:
"To
all
those
'men'
(using
the
term
loosely)
who
say
they
won't
watch
@deepikapadukone's
movies:
thank
you!
Thank
you!
Hindi
cinema
would
be
in
a
much
better
place
if
sexually
inadequate
overgrown
adolescents
like
you
removed
yourselves
from
the
audience."
Unfortunately,
amid
all
the
praises,
Deepika
is
also
receiving
flak
from
another
section
of
netizens
for
lending
her
support
to
JNU
and
the
hashtag
#BoycottChhapaak
is
trending
on
the
top
of
Twitter.
